Effect of cadmium, copper and zinc on plants, soil microorganisms and soil enzymes. (2012, unknown): “The Rhizobium bacteria possessing more plasmids are more tolerant to heavy metals than cells of the same species with fewer plasmids (L AKZIAN et al. 2002).”
Role of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria in the remediation of metal contaminated soils (2009, background): “The ability to grow even in high metal concentration is found in many rhizospheric microorganisms including symbiotic N2-fixing bacteria (Lakzian et al., 2002), and may be the result of intrinsic or induced mechanisms (Giller et al.”
Legume– Rhizobium Symbioses as a Tool for Bioremediation of Heavy Metal Polluted Soils (2011, background): “Under the selective pressure of elevated metal concentrations, only the most resistant strains were able to survive, which were symbiotically ineffective and formed white nodules on roots (Broos et al. 2005; Lakzian et al. 2002; Castro et al. 1997; Chaudri et al. 1992).”
