Enhanced phytoextraction of manganese and cadmium by Polygonum lapathifolium L. via Enterobacter sp. inoculation: Roles of rhizosphere regulation and endophytic microbiome assembly.
Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) can enhance phytoremediation, but whether inoculation alters rhizosphere microbial abundance and elicits tissue-specific endophytic responses remains unclear. Here, Enterobacter sp. was applied to improve Mn/Cd phytoextraction by Polygonum lapathifolium L. Inoculation decreased rh...
