Abstract
The phytoremediation potency of Gossypium hirsutum was explored in this research under the influence of preidentified metal tolerant Streptomyces tritici D5 in Cr enriched sludge soil using various treatment sets (I to V) in a greenhouse setting. Interestingly, the G. hirsutum remarkable remediate the Cr metal from the Cr enriched sludge soil under diluted (50:50) condition in 90 days of greenhouse experiment. The S. tritici D5 also effectively support the growth and phytoremediation competence of G. hirsutum. This was evidenced by the under the diluted (set III) condition the growth and major biomolecules such as protein, carbohydrate, and chlorophyll content of G. hirsutum were considerably increased in quantity. Hence, the phytoremediation potential of G. hirsutum was effective at soil diluted with fertile and xenobiotics free soil with dilution ratio of 50:50 (set III) and followed by 75:25 (set II) ratio. Thus, under diluted conditions (50:50) G. hirsutum seed coated with S. tritici D5 showed an outstanding phytoremediation process. Therefore, this method can be implemented to the field level study to assess the metal removal prospects of this environmentally friendly method.
