The worldwide increases in both environmental damage and human population pressure
have the unfortunate consequence that global food production may soon become …

Phytoextraction makes use of trace element-accumulating plants that concentrate the
pollutants in their tissues. Pollutants can be then removed by harvesting plants. The success …

1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACCD), a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent
enzyme, is widespread in diverse bacterial and fungal species. Owing to ACCD activity …

In the past twenty years or so, researchers have endeavored to utilize plants to facilitate the
removal of both organic and inorganic contaminants from the environment, especially from …

To explore a novel strategy for the remediation of soils polluted with Cu and Cd, three strains
of plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) isolated from contaminated mines and two …

Plant growth-promoting bacteria that contain the enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-
carboxylate (ACC) deaminase facilitate plant growth and development by decreasing plant …

To date, there has been only limited commercial use of plant growth-promoting bacteria in
agriculture, horticulture, and silviculture. However, with recent progress toward …

Phytoremediation is a promising technology that uses plants and their associated microbes
to clean up contaminants from the environment. In recent years, phytoremediation assisted …

Contamination of agricultural soils with trace metals present lethal consequences in terms of
diverse ecological and environmental problems that entail entry of metal in food chain, soil …

Free of human interference the soil trace element content is largely dependent on that of the
soil parent material and acting weathering processes. An increasingly industrialised society …
