Plant growth promoting activity of Enterobacter sp. C1D in heavy metal contaminated soils
Chromium (Cr6+) is a widespread soil pollutant and is released from various industries including tanneries, metal cleaning and processing, chromium plating, wood processing, and alloy formation. At elevated levels Cr6+ is highly toxic to most plants, impairing their metabolism and reducing plant growth. In recent past, free living, metal-resistant native soil bacteria that exert beneficial effects on plants have gained lot of attention at a global scale. Present study was aimed at exploring the potential of plant growth promoting, metal resistant bacteria at alleviation of metal toxicity to plants. Metal resistant bacteria were isolated form soil contaminated with industrial effluent at estuarine zone of Mahi River, Sarod, Gujarat, western India.
