Abstract

Phytobial remediation is a cutting-edge technique that employs bacteria and plants to reduce environmental contamination with arsenic (As). Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) that aids phytoremediation has recently received much attention for their ability to increase plant growth and metal tolerance while removing As on a massive scale. Here we focus on the PGPB traits that affect plants and how they respond to challenges brought on by As. We'll discuss a few current systems that helped PGPB-facilitated As-stress adaptation and reduced As-availability to plants. Introducing phytoremediation with PGPB assistance requires evaluating how PGPB affects the environment, particularly regarding how it affects local microbes.
