Issue Date: | 2021 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER | Source: | SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 769 (Art N° 144648) | Abstract: | Arsenic (As)-reducing bacteria are able to influence As-speciation and, in this way, change As bio-availability. In consequence, this has an impact on As uptake by plants growing on polluted soil and on the effectiveness of the phytoremediation process. To be able to efficiently utilize these bacteria for As-phytoremediation in the field, a better understanding of the plant-bacterial interactions involved in As-tolerance or toxicity is needed. In this work, seedlings of a clone of Salix atrocinerea derived from a specimen naturally growing on an As-polluted brownfield were grown under gnotobiotic conditions exposed to As, and in the presence or absence of two of its field-associated and in vitro characterized plant growth-promoting (PGP) bacteria. The inoculation with Pantoea sp., induced a moderate reduction of AsV to AsIII in the exposure medium that, together with a coordinated plant response of As uptake, chelation and sequestration, increased As accumulation in roots; which is reflected into a higher phytostabilization. However, inoculation with Rhodococcus erythropolis due to a higher disproportionate reduction of AsV to AsIII in the medium caused less As accumulation in roots that non-bioaugmented plants and despite the lower As content, the concentrations of AsIII present in the medium and the damage suffered in roots and leaves, indicated that As tolerance mechanisms (such as prevention of AsIII uptake and efflux) did not occur in time to avoid physical disturbance and plants growth reduction. Interestingly, by two different metabolic pathways -coordinated by different key transporters mediating As uptake, tolerance, distribution and vacuolar accumulation at the roots- both bacteria limited As accumulation in Salix shoots. Our results provide for the first time a detailed insight in the plant-bacterial responses and physiological changes contributing to As tolerance in S. atrocinerea, that will facilitate the design of effective strategies for exploitation of plant-associated microorganisms for phytoremediation.
