Bioaugmentation-assisted phytoextraction is a promising method for the cleaning-up of soils contaminated by metals. Bacteria mainly Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) and fungi mainly Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) associated with hyperaccumulating or non-hyperaccumulating plants were analyzed on the basis of a bioprocess engineering approach (concentration and amount of metals extracted by plants, translocation and bioconcentration factor, and plant biomass). In average bioaugmentation increased metals accumulated by shoots by a factor of about 2 (metal concentration) and 5 (amount) without any obvious differences between bacteria and fungi. To optimize this process, new relevant microorganism-plant associations and field scale experiments are needed along with a common methodology for the comparison of all experiments on the same basis. Recommendations were suggested concerning both the microbial-plant selection and the implementation of bioaugmentation to enhance the microbial survival. The use of microbial consortia associated with plant was discussed notably for multi-contaminated soils.

Article Synopsis
- - Bioaugmentation with Pseudomonas putida enhanced the ability of sunflowers to extract copper (Cu) from vineyard soils, increasing Cu concentration in roots by 93% and in shoots by 17%, while also boosting sunflower biomass by 30% to 60%.
- - The study focused on the mechanisms behind copper transfer from soil to plants, highlighting the role of siderophores, particularly pyoverdine (Pvd), which formed a 1:1 complex with Cu, aiding its mobilization and availability for the sunflowers.
- - Interestingly, carbonated soils did not enhance the mobilization of trace elements as expected, suggesting that further optimization could involve strategies to enhance the dissociation of the Pvd-C
Bioaugmentation and bioaugmentation-assisted phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated soil by a synergistic effect of cyanobacteria inoculation, biochar, and purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.).

In recent decades, soil contamination with heavy metals has become an environmental crisis due to their long-term stability and adverse biological effects. Therefore, bioremediation is an eco-friendly technology to remediate contaminated soil, which the efficiency requires further research. This study was designed to comparatively investigate two strategies: bioaugmentation by using a cyanobacterial species (Oscillatoria sp.

Bacteria isolated from soils in the vicinity of phosphogypsum (PG) stockpiles were studied for their potential use in bioaugmentation-assisted phytoextraction. Quick, miniaturized biochemical tests were performed in the presence of metal trace elements (MTE), including rare earth elements (Cd, Sr, Ce, La, Nd and Y), corresponding to their bioavailable concentrations in PG. The intention herein was to assess the capacity of bacteria to: i) grow in PG; ii) produce indole acetic acid and ACC deaminase to promote plant growth and reduce stress; and iii) produce siderophores, including pyoverdine, to mobilize MTE.

The combined application of plant Suaeda salsa and indigenous fungus Trichoderma asperellum on the treatment of a lead (Pb) and salinity (Na and Ca) co-contaminated soil was investigated by a flowerpot experiment. As demonstrated by plant growth and selected antioxidant parameters, S. salsa was able to tolerate and grow in the co-contaminated soil, especially bioaugmented with T.

Although copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient for all living organisms, it can be toxic at low concentrations. Its beneficial effects are therefore only observed for a narrow range of concentrations. Anthropogenic activities such as fungicide spraying and mining have resulted in the Cu contamination of environmental compartments (soil, water and sediment) at levels sometimes exceeding the toxicity threshold.
