Cadmium Removal from Water and Soil by a Cadmium-Resistant Rhizobacterium and Its Effect on Plant Root Elongation [PDF]
A cadmium resistant rhizobacterium, Pseudomonas sp. PM2, was isolated from plant roots. It is highly resistant to cadmium toxicity. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of cadmium for Pseudomonas sp. PM2 is 2100 mg/L. Pseudomonas sp.
