Isolation and characterization of hexavalent chromium-tolerant endophytic bacteria inhabiting Solanum virginicum L. roots: A study on potential for chromium bioremediation and plant growth promotion

Present study was performed with the aim to isolate Heavy metal Tolerant- PGPB (HMT-PGPB) from metal-contaminated site and use them for Cr bioremediation. Six different bacterial strains were obtained from the endosphere of Solanum virginicum L. roots and cultured using nutrient agar media amended w...

description Present study was performed with the aim to isolate Heavy metal Tolerant- PGPB (HMT-PGPB) from metal-contaminated site and use them for Cr bioremediation. Six different bacterial strains were obtained from the endosphere of Solanum virginicum L. roots and cultured using nutrient agar media amended with 20 mg/L of Cr(VI). The ability of these Cr(VI) tolerant bacterial isolates were assessed for PGP traits like producing siderophores, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and phosphate solubilization. The findings indicated that all of the isolates could produce exopolymeric substances and IAA, five of them could produce siderophores, and three could solubilize phosphate. Furthermore, the minimum inhibitory concentrations of these strains werealso determined. These strains were identified as Bacillus licheniformis SxR1, B. tequilensis SxR2, B. subtilis SxR3, B. velezensis SxR4, B. amyloliquefaciens SxR6, and B. stercoris SxR8. To validate the findings, it is crucial to comprehend how Cr(VI) affects Bacillus sp. SxR1 cells to determine the course of uptake and bacterial cell alteration, which was assessed via Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
