Table 3 Effect of Pseudomonas sp. (NT27) on Cr content (μg/g) and bioaccumulation factor (BAF) of the shoots and roots of alfalfa grown on contaminated soils with Cr (VI). Values with different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05)
From: Improved chromium tolerance of Medicago sativa by plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR)
Treatment | Chromium uptake (μg/g of dry weight) | BAF | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Roots | Shoots | Roots | Shoots | |
Control | ND | ND | – | – |
Cr (VI) | 3.12 ± 0.3a | 1.49 ± 0.2a | 0.31 ± 0.1a | 0.15 ± 0.11a |
Cr (VI) + NT27 | 4.65 ± 0.33b | 1.58 ± 0.1a | 0.46 ± 0.1b | 0.16 ± 0.02a |
