Abstract
Agreen-houseexperimentwasconductedtoinvestigatetheefficiencyofthreeheavymetal-tolerantplantgrowth promoting bacterial strains (HMT-PGPB) (Alcaligenes faecalis MG257493.1, Bacillus cereus MG257494.1 and AlcaligenesfaecalisMG966440.1toalleviatetheheavymetal’stoxiceffectsonsorghumplant(Sorghumbicolor, L.)inadditiontotheirabilitytoenhanceplantgrowth.Theoxidativeenzymes,photosyntheticpigments,growth characteristics, heavy metals uptake and heavy metals translocation factor (TF) were estimated in sorghum cultivated in soil contaminated with heavy metals under green-house conditions. Results showed that the applicationoftheseHTM-PGPBstrainsasbiofertilizerofsorghumhelpplanttoignorethetoxiceffectsofheavy metalsandenhancegrowthcharacteristics.
