To investigate the cadmium (Cd) uptake mechanism in the roots of Coptis chinensis Franch., we utilized non-invasive micro-test technology (NMT) to analyze Cd and H fluxes, alongside ICP-MS to assess Cd content and fluxes under various inhibitors and ion channel blockers. Results revealed that Cd uptake primarily occurs in the root meristematic zone. Cd addition significantly inhibited H influx. The P-type ATPase inhibitor NaVO and the metabolism inhibitor CCCP both reduced Cd fluxes and Cd content in roots of C. chinensis Ca channel blocker LaCl exhibited more pronounced inhibition on Cd flux than K channel blocker TEA, indicating Cd uptake mainly via Ca channels. Therefore, active transport and Ca channels may play an important role in Cd uptake in C. chinensis roots.

Seven plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) were isolated from extracts of surface-sterilized Sedum alfredii Hance. Among the seven isolates, the strain SaRB5 identified as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia through 16S rDNA sequence analysis, exhibited highest levels of heavy metal resistance and plant growth-promoting traits. SaRB5 tolerated high concentrations of cadmium (Cd) (1.

This study aimed to elucidate the effects of arsenic species [As(III)/As(V)] and cadmium [Cd(II)] on nitrification and nitrogen fixation in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) cultivation, and to identify nitrogen cycle disruption mechanisms in realistic soil environments with a focus on soil-metal-plant-microbe interactions. We examined heavy metal(loid)s uptake in plant tissues, changes in nitrogen species in porewater, nitrogenase activity, the contents of essential trace metals (Mo and Fe) in nitrogenase, and nitrogen-related microbial communities.

Cadmium (Cd) contamination in coastal regions poses severe environmental risks, yet bacterial defense mechanisms against Cd remain poorly understood. This study unveils distinct tolerant strategies of two highly Cd-tolerant bacteria isolated from the Yangtze River estuary: Comamonas sp. Y49 and Aeromonas sp.

The Natural Resistance Associated Macrophage Proteins (NRAMPs) are membrane-targeted transporters with low substrate specificity, that mediate the import (translocation to the cytoplasm) of metals, mainly essential nutrients, e.g. iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu) or nickel (Ni).
