Micronutrients are essential factors for human health and integral for plant growth and
development. Among the micronutrients, zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) deficiency in dietary food …

Bioaugmentation is a promising method for assisting phytoextraction of heavy metals from
contaminated soil, and the development of bioaugmentation-assisted phytoextraction …

Endophytic bacteria have received attention for their ability to promote plant growth and
enhance phytoremediation, which may be attributed to their ability to produce indole-3 …

Endophytic fungi, living in the inner tissues of living plants, have attracted increasing
attention among ecologists, taxonomists, chemists and agronomists. They are ubiquitously …
