MYCORRHIZA ASSISTED APPROACH FOR BIOREMEDIATION WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO BIOSORPTION

SHWETA PATHAK, PRASANN KUMAR, PANKAJ KUMAR MISHRA AND MUKUL KUMAR

Abstract

Plants rising in metal polluted soils anchorage a significant group of microorganism that are capable of tolerating high concentration of metal and giving a number of benefits to both the soil and the plant of concern. In our study related to the microbes assisted remediation approaches we find that, among the microorganism involved phytoremediation of heavy metal, the rhizosphere fungus deserve special attention because they can directly improve the phytoremediation process by changing the metal bioavailability through altering the soil pH, release of chelators (Organic acid and siderophores), oxidation/reduction reaction. Similarly the metal tolerant mycorrhizal fungi have been frequently reported in hyper-accumulators growing in metal polluted soils indicating that these fungi have evolved a heavy metal-tolerance and that they may play important role in phytoremediation of the site.
