Verbatim
e0“The efficiency of heavy metal uptake can be enhanced by the inoculation of endophytes”
e1“these 5 high-MIC bacteria and 1 low-MIC bacterium, Bacillus sp. LB15 were inoculated onto sunflower grown in soil supplemented with 250 mg/kg of Cd”
e2“After 60 days, all inoculated plants accumulated significantly higher Cd concentration than the non-inoculated counterparts”

- Intervention effect Inoculation with strain LB51 gave the highest Cd accumulation and growth of sunflower.
- Intervention effect Inoculation with strain LB15, a low-MIC isolate, enhanced Cd accumulation in sunflower.
- Observation Paenibacillus sp. SB12, Bacillus sp. SB31, Bacillus sp. LB51 and Alcaligenes sp. RB54 had the highest MIC value, 2.9 mM.
- Observation Exiguobacterium sp.RB51 had a MIC value of 1.7 mM.
