Other claims from this paper (2)
- Intervention effect Pseudomonas aeruginosa RTKP1 induction without compost gave the highest reduction of mercury in the tailings, from 10.7 to 0.00467 mg/kg.
- Mechanism The low Hg content in the tailings with bacterial induction without compost indicates a phytostabilization mechanism in Pteris vittata.
