Mining specific functional microorganisms in the soil microbiome

Aluminium-tolerant microorganisms (ATMs) from the rhizosphere have been demonstrated to tolerate high levels of aluminum, and they can secrete organic acid to chelate Al3+ outside their cells and thereby reduce aluminium toxicity. By acting as a bridge between the soil and plants, these ATMs can help to promote the establishment of vegetation in disturbed areas and contribute to the restoration of degraded ecosystems.Thus, the identification and isolation of ATMs in nature environments is of great importance for bioremediation.
