- Scientists of CSIR-National Botanical Research Institute (CSIR-NBRI) and the University of Lucknow have used 2 indigenous strains of bacterium to remove arsenic contamination in soil.
- The strains are named as Bacillus flexus and Acinetobacter junii.
- They can live symbiotically in the roots of plants in arsenic contaminated soils and help them uptake the required nutrients without causing toxicity.
- In addition, they also promote plant growth.
- Bioremediation uses mainly microorganisms, plants, or microbial or plant enzymes to detoxify contaminants in the soil and other environments.
