Journal ArticleDOI
Remediation of Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils: Phytoremediation as a Potentially Promising Clean-Up Technology
TL;DR: To enhance phytoremediation as a viable strategy, microbiota from the rhizosphere can play an important role, but the use of genetic engineering can also increase the success of the technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Constructed wetland systems vegetated with different plants applied to the treatment of tannery wastewater
TL;DR: Despite the high removal of organic content from the influent wastewater, during 17 months of operation, no significant differences in performance were observed between units.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytoremediation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons, anilines and phenols.
Patricia J. Harvey,Bruno F. Campanella,Paula M. L. Castro,Hans Harms,Eric Lichtfouse,Anton R. Schäffner,Stanislav Smrček,Danièle Werck-Reichhart +7 more
TL;DR: Plant and microbial degradative capacities, viewed as a continuum, have been dissected in order to identify where bottlenecks and limitations exist and to prevent their movement into wildlife food chains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of the plant growth promotion abilities of six bacterial isolates using Zea mays as indicator plant.
Ana P. G. C. Marques,Cléo T. G. V. M. T. Pires,Cléo T. G. V. M. T. Pires,Helena Moreira,António O. S. S. Rangel,Paula M. L. Castro +5 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that plant traits such as root and shoot elongation and biomass production, and nutrient status, namely N and P levels, were influenced by the inoculation, with plants inoculated with 1C2 generally outperforming the other treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal uptake by microalgae: Underlying mechanisms and practical applications
Cristina M. Monteiro,Paula M. L. Castro,F. Xavier Malcata,F. Xavier Malcata,F. Xavier Malcata +4 more
TL;DR: Self‐defense mechanisms developed by microalgal cells to survive in metal‐containing media and environmental factors that affect their removal are reviewed here in a comprehensive way and further discussed in attempts to rationalize this form of remediation vis‐a‐vis with conventional nonbiological alternatives.
