Bacteria and fungi can form a range of physical associations that depend on various modes
of molecular communication for their development and functioning. These bacterial-fungal …

Background Phytoremediation is a promising technology for the cleanup of polluted
environments. The technology has so far been used mainly to remove toxic heavy metals …

The capacity of fungi to serve as vectors for the dispersion of pollutant-degrading bacteria
was analyzed in laboratory model systems mimicking water-saturated (agar surfaces) and …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism by which phytoremediation
systems promote hydrocarbon degradation in soil. The composition and degradation …

Here we characterized the effect of the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis on the genotypic and
functional diversity of soil Pseudomonas fluorescens populations and analysed its possible …

Plants play a key role in purifying the biosphere of the toxic effects of industrial activity. This
book shows how systematic application of the results of investigations into the metabolism of …

The importance of develo** multi‐disciplinary approaches to solving problems relating to
anthropogenic pollution is now clearly appreciated by the scientific community, and this is …

The effects of heavy metals and phytoextraction practices on a soil microbial community
were studied during 12 months using a hyperaccumulating plant (Thlaspi caerulescens) …

Oil pollution is a common type of soil organic pollution that is harmful to the ecosystem.
Bioremediation, particularly microbe-assisted phytoremediation of oil-contaminated soil, has …

Total eight endophytic bacteria were isolated from the roots of Populus deltoides growing in
non-contaminated sites at natural vegetation of Garhwal Himalayas, Uttarakhand, India …
