Focusing on plant growth promoting bacteria, this book explores their role in enhancing the growth of hyperaccumulating plants and improving heavy metal uptake. It delves into specific mechanisms by which these microorganisms boost metal phytoremediation efficiency, such as increasing root surface area, enhancing biomass yield, and improving the bioavailability of metals, facilitating better translocation from the soil to the plants.

Focusing on heavy metal pollution, the book begins with an overview of treatment technologies and phytoremediation, including a literature review. The subsequent chapters are structured as research articles, either published or submitted, with introductory sections outlining the experiments. Methodological details and their significance to the overall research goals are highlighted throughout. The concluding sections summarize the findings and discuss future directions for addressing heavy metal contamination in soil.
