Co-occurrence patterns of microbial community affected by inoculants of plant growth-promoting bacteria during phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils ??:Zijun Wu, Zhaoyu Kong, Shiyao He, Cheng Huang, Yong He and Lan Wu* ??:School of Life

??????:The multiple heavy metal-contaminated surface soil (0-15 cm depth) used in the present study was collected from an abandoned farmland (Lat. 28°92'N, Long. 117°48'E) on the Le'an River Basin, located in Jiangxi Province, China. The Le'an River Basin has received a large amount of acidic mine drainage (AMD, pH 2-3) from Dexing copper mine, the largest open-cast copper mine in Asia. The sampling site has been continuously contaminated with AMD for 60 years and the waste effluents containing Cu, Pb, Cd, Zn, As and Mo.????:multiple heavy metal-contaminated soil containing Brassica juncea plants following PGPB inoculation during phytoremediation
