The Effect of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria Bacillus thuringiensis LKT25 on Cadmium Accumulation and Physiological Responses in Solanum nigrum L

Scientists discovered a beneficial bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis LKT25 that helps black nightshade plants absorb cadmium from contaminated soil more effectively. When this bacterium is applied to the plant roots, it boosts plant growth and activates the plant’s natural defense systems against heavy metal toxicity. In tests with moderately contaminated soil, the bacterial treatment improved cadmium removal by nearly 50%, making it a promising solution for cleaning up polluted agricultural lands.

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

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.
