IRSIP 51 BMS 28
A cadmium pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the synergistic effect of bacterial inoculation and nanoparticles on the phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated soil. Sterilized soil was spiked with 200 mg kg-1 of cadmium and left to reach a stable state for 60 days. Ryegrass seeds (Lolium perenne) were used as a hyperaccumulator plant. The soil was inoculated with two selected bacterial strains, Serratia bozhouensis (NCCP-2263) and Serratia marcescens (NCCP-2268). The plants were harvested 60 days after seedling, and various physiological and biochemical parameters were examined. Analysis was conducted on soil and plant samples to determine the cadmium concentration. Bacterial colonization in soil was studied with Illumina Miseq. Contact: Dr. Sohail Yousaf.
