The development of an integrated strategy for the remediation of soil co-contaminated by heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants is a major research priority for the decontamination of soil slated for use in agricultural production. The objective of this study was to develop a bioremediation strategy for fields co-contaminated with cadmium (Cd), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), and...

This study aimed to explore the effects of Trichoderma reesei FS10-C on the phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated soil by the hyperaccumulator Sedum plumbizincicola and on soil fertility. The Cd tolerance of T. reesei FS10-C was characterized and then a pot experiment was conducted to investigate the growth and Cd uptake of S. plumbizincicola with the addition of inoculation agents in the presenc...

The intracellular locations of six key enzymes of Crassulacean acid metabolism were determined using enzymically isolated mesophyll protoplasts of Sedum praealtum D.C. Data from isopycnic sucrose density gradient centrifugation established the chloroplastic location of pyruvate Pi dikinase, the mitochondrial location of NAD-linked malic enzyme, and exclusively nonparticulate (not associated wit...
