Decoding heavy metal stress signalling in plants: Towards improved food security and safety
(MDPI, 2020)The mining of heavy metals from the environment leads to an increase in soil pollution, leading to the uptake of heavy metals into plant tissue. The build-up of toxic metals in plant cells often leads to cellular damage ... -
Degradation of hydrocarbons and heavy metal reduction by marine bacteria in highly contaminated sediments
(MDPI, 2020)Investigations on the ability of bacteria to enhance removal of hydrocarbons and reduce heavy metal toxicity in sediments are necessary to design more effective bioremediation strategies. In this study, five bacterial ...
