Rhizosphere of metallophytes and its role in bioremediation of heavy metals
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2014, Vol 68, Issue 6
Abstract
Plants that occur on heavy metal contaminated soils are called metallophytes. Some of them, known as hyperaccumulators, are able to accumulate heavy metal ions in their shoots and leaves. Rhizosphere of metallophytes encompasses an exceptional environment that involves numerous heavy metal resistant bacteria. Those rhizosphere microorganisms can alter heavy metal bioavailability, influencing their uptake and accumulation by plants. Due to this fact, rhizosphere processes that involve plant-microbe-heavy metal interactions are important for heavy metal phytoextration.
