Enhanced Phytoextraction Technologies for the Sustainable Remediation of Cadmium-Contaminated Soil Based on Hyperaccumulators—A Review

mycolabadmin

Cadmium contamination of farmland is a serious global problem that threatens food safety and human health. This review explores how special plants called hyperaccumulators can extract cadmium from soil, and how scientists can boost their effectiveness through various methods like beneficial bacteria, improved farming techniques, and special chemicals. The research shows that combining multiple enhancement strategies works better than using any single approach, offering hope for cleaning up polluted agricultural lands sustainably.

Sorption of Heavy Metals (Pb, Cd, Co, and Zn) by Bacteria of the Genus Bacillus: An Investigation of the Ability and Consequences of Bioaccumulation

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied how three types of beneficial Bacillus bacteria can remove heavy metals like lead, cadmium, zinc, and cobalt from contaminated environments. The bacteria were most effective at capturing lead, removing up to 53% of the metal from the medium. The study showed these bacteria could potentially be used as probiotic treatments to help remove toxic metals from the body or clean up polluted soil. Microscopic analysis revealed that the metals accumulate on the bacterial cell surface, causing slight changes in bacterial shape and size.
