Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi as a potential tool for bioremediation of heavy metals in contaminated soil

Human activities have introduced large amounts of heavy metals into natural ecosystems in recent years. As a result, the accumulation and metalloids plants, animals, humans, which may caused some health problems. Chemical physical methods can remove metal contaminated soil, but both are very expensive ineffective. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) mutualistic symbionts most plant roots. Furthermore, AMF essential mycorrhizae for phytoremediation, extensive hyphal network them increase uptake micro macronutrients, water from soil. However, hyphae colonized roots an ability compartmentalizing inside capable secreting glycoprotein, named glomalin, bind subsequently absorbed by plants Glomalin develop properties structure helps to enhance soil fertility.
