To overcome this knowledge gap, we studied the adsorption capacity of Stenotrophomonas rhizophila JC1 to Pb, and investigated the physiological mechanism by means of SEM, EDS, FTIR, membrane permeability detection, and investigated the molecular mechanism through comparative transcriptomics. The results showed that after 16 h of cultivation, the biosorption capacity of JC1 for 100 mg/L of Pb reached at 79.

In this study, the physiological and ecological responses of alfalfa to petroleum hydrocarbons in different concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil with KB1 (Rhodococcus erythropolis) were analyzed and determined by laboratory potting techniques. The growth of alfalfa (CK) and alfalfa with KB1 (JZ) in different concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons contaminated soil was compared and analyzed.

In order to study the detoxification effect of microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) on the heavy metal cadmium (Cd), this study took an EPS-producing Serratia fonticola CPSE11 (NZ_CP050171.1) isolated from Codonopsis pilosula root as the research object. The whole genome and EPS synthesis gene clusters of this strain were predicted and analyzed, the adsorption kinetics of EPS on Cd were studied by using pseudo-first-order and second-order kinetic equations, the isothermal adsorption curves were simulated and analyzed by using the Langmuir isothermal adsorption equation, and the effects of Cd and EPS on the growth of C.

A large number of endophytic fungi play an indispensable role in promoting plant growth and development, and they can provide protection for host plants by producing a variety of secondary metabolites to resist and inhibit plant pathogens. Due to the terrain of Gansu province is north-south and longitudinal, different climatic conditions, altitude, terrain and growth environment will affect the growth of Codonopsis pilosula, and the changes in these environmental factors directly affect the quality and yield of C.
