Phytoremediation effect of Scirpus triqueter inoculated plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) on different fractions of pyrene and Ni in co-contaminated soils
Plants were inoculated with PGPB to remediate pyrene-Ni co-contaminated soil. Inoculation plants with PGPB increased the bioavailability of Ni. Inoculation plants with PGPB significantly decreased amount of bioaccessible pyrene. Inoculation plants with PGPB promoted the degradation of pyrene. Pyrene hindered the inoculated plants from accumulating Ni to some extent.
