Deciphering the enhanced translocation of Pb, Ni and Cd from artificially polluted soil to augmented with VITMSJ3.

Unlabelled: The translocation of heavy metals (HMs) from the rhizosphere to plant systems constitutes a fundamental mechanism governing HM uptake. Microbial augmentation has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance this process. The study investigates the mechanism of enhanced translocation of heavy metals (HMs) from artificially polluted soil to , facilitated by VITMSJ3.

Toxicity assessment of lead, nickel and cadmium on zebra fish augmented with Bacillus xiamenensis VITMSJ3: An insight on the defense mechanism against oxidative stress due to heavy metals.

Increased urbanization in recent years has let to discharge of heavy metals into the environment which has caused severe impacts on soil as well as water. Therefore the current study was aimed to assess the toxicity of lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), and cadmium (Cd) from the contaminated water using zebra fish Danio rerio and detoxification of metals upon augmentation with Bacillus xiamenensis. Exposure doses till 150 mg L of Pb, Ni and Cd in water showed lethal effects on fish.

A new paradigm in the bioremoval of lead, nickel, and cadmium using a cocktail of biosystems: a metagenomic approach.

Lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), and cadmium (Cd) are known for its harmful effects on the environment. Microbial community related to soil plays a pivotal role in configuring several properties of the ecosystem. Thus, remediation of such heavy metals using multiple biosystems had shown excellent bioremoval potential.
