1
Bacillus pichinotyi
Triticum aestivum
Se
Enhanced concentration of Se was observed in
wheat kernels and stem
Enhanced the growth of plant in both presence
and absence of metal
Yasin et al. (2015)
2
Phyllobacterium
myrsinacearum
Sedum plumbizincicola
Cd
Metal uptake was increased and also caused the
enhancement of plant growth
Ma et al. (2013)
3
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Bacillus subtilis
Cupriavidus taiwanesis
Beauveria bassiana
Oryza sativa
Cd
Increases the plant growth and decreases the
accumulation of metal in the plant as metal was
accumulated in the microbial tissues

Brevibacterium frigoritolerans
Bacillus paralicheniformis
Brassica juncea
Pb
Enhanced metal uptake by B. juncea
and
improved the plant growth

Ni
Improved Ni extraction and enhanced the plant
growth
Akhtar et al. (2018)

Metal was accumulated in the microbes and thus
reduced the uptake by plants and helped in the
growth of plants

uptake by plants and increasing plant growth

translocation of metals from roots to shoots with
the help of microbes

Improves the process of bioremediation by
accumulating the metal in microbial tissues and
reducing the metal uptake in plants

Helps in the growth of plant and increases the
accumulation of metal in the root and shoot
