Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B isolated from vegetable soil was highly adaptable to Zinc (Zn) and Cadmium (Cd). Cd, but not Zn, adversely affected the total protein spectrum and functional groups of Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B. Up to 31 metabolic pathways and 216 metabolites of Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B were significantly changed by Zn and Cd (Zn&Cd). Some metabolic pathways and metabolites related to functional groups of sulfhydryl (-SH) and amine (-NH-) metabolism were enhanced by Zn&Cd addition. The cellulase activity of Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B was up to 8.58 U mL, increased to 10.77 U mL in Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B + 300 mg L Zn, and maintained at 6.13 U mL in Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B + 50 mg L Cd. The vegetables' cellulose content was decreased by 25.05-52.37% and 40.28-70.70% under the action of Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B and Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B + 300 mg L Zn. Those results demonstrated that Zn could significantly enhance cellulase activity and biodegradability of Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B to vegetable cellulose. Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B can survive in vegetable soil accumulated with Zn&Cd. The tolerance concentration and adsorption capacity of Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B to Zn were up to 300 mg L and 56.85%, indicating that Bacillus cellulasensis Zn-B acting as a thermostability biological agent had an essential advantage in accelerating the degradation of discarded vegetables by Zn and were beneficial to maintain organic matter content of vegetable soil.

This study investigates the potential of chromium (VI) resistant bacterial isolates to alleviate heavy metal stress in fodder maize plants and enhance phytoremediation. Twenty-one bacterial strains were isolated from contaminated water, with five strains; (BHR1) (BHR2), (BHR4), (BHR5) and (BHR6) selected based on their significant plant-growth promoting (PGP) traits and heavy metal tolerance. Under chromium (Cr VI) stress, the BHR1 strain significantly improved seed germination, seedling length and vigor index of fodder maize variety (J 1007) especially at 150 mg/L Cr (VI), where these parameters increased by 3.

Article Synopsis
  • A certain beneficial microorganism in the rhizosphere enhances plant growth and tolerance to salt stress, but the specific mechanisms at the post-translational modification level were not well understood.
  • Researchers identified various lysine modifications, specifically noting that acetylation levels increased significantly in response to salt stress, affecting a large number of proteins involved in vital processes related to salt tolerance.
  • The study also highlighted how specific acetylation sites on a protective enzyme, thiol peroxidase, play a crucial role in managing reactive oxygen species, thus influencing bacterial growth under salt conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • Cadmium (Cd) is a harmful metal that negatively impacts plant growth by impairing key physiological processes like photosynthesis and nutrient uptake.
  • The study explores the combined effects of potassium-enriched biochar (KBC) and Bacillus altitudinis rhizobacteria (RB) as treatments for rice, showing that their combination significantly boosts plant growth metrics, even under Cd stress.
  • Results indicate that the RB+KBC treatment enhances various growth parameters, such as plant height and chlorophyll levels, while also improving nutrient concentrations in plants, suggesting it as a viable solution for farmers facing Cd-related growth issues.
