Abstract
In this study, we used 16S high-throughput sequencing to investigate the effects of uranium mining on the rhizospheric bacterial communities and functions of three local plant species, namely, Artemisia frigida, Acorus tatarionwii Schott., and Salix oritrepha Schneid. The results showed that uranium mining significantly reduced the diversity of rhizospheric bacteria in the three local plant species, including the Shannon index and Simpson index (P < 0.05). Interestingly, we found that Sphingomonas and Pseudotrichobacter were enriched in the rhizosphere soil of the three local plants from uranium mining areas, indicating their important ecological role. The three plants were enriched in various dominant rhizospheric bacterial populations in the uranium mining area, including Vicinamidobacteriaceae, Nocardioides, and Gaiella, which may be related to the unique microecological environment of the plant rhizosphere. The rhizospheric bacterial community of A. tatarionwii plants from tailings and open-pit mines also showed a certain degree of differentiation, indicating that uranium mining is the main factor driving the differentiation of plant rhizosphere soil communities on the plateau. Functional prediction revealed that rhizospheric bacteria from different plants have developed different functions to cope with stress caused by uranium mining activities, including enhancing the translational antagonist Rof, the translation initiation factor 2B subunit, etc. This study explores for the first time the impact of plateau uranium mining activities on the rhizosphere microecology of local plants, promoting the establishment of effective soil microecological health monitoring indicators, and providing a reference for further soil pollution remediation in plateau uranium mining areas.

Abstract
Natural amino acids (NAA) have been rarely investigated as chelators, despite their ability to chelate heavy metals (HMs). In the present research, the effects of extracted natural amino acids, as a natural and environmentally friendly chelate agent and the inoculation of Pseudomonas fluorescens (PF) and Micrococcus yunnanensis (MY) bacteria were investigated on some responses of quinoa in a soil polluted with Pb, Ni, Cd, and Zn. Inoculation of PGPR bacteria enhanced plant growth and phytoremediation efficiency. Pb and Cd were higher in quinoa roots, while Ni and Zn were higher in the shoots. The highest efficiencies were observed with NAA treatment and simultaneous inoculation of PF and MY bacteria for Ni, Cd, Pb, and Zn. The highest values of phytoremediation efficiency and uptake efficiency of Ni, Cd, Pb, and Zn were 21.28, 19.11, 14.96 and 18.99 μg g-1, and 31.52, 60.78, 51.89, and 25.33 μg g-1, respectively. Results of present study well demonstrated NAA extracted from blood powder acted as strong chelate agent due to their diversity in size, solubilizing ability, abundant functional groups, and potential in the formation of stable complexes with Ni, Cd, Pb, and Zn, increasing metal availability in soil and improving phytoremediation efficiency in quinoa.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE In this study, we revealed that the variation in rhizosphere and root endosphere microbial assemblage between host plant ecotypes contribute to their differential abilities to withstand cadmium (Cd) stressors. Furthermore, our study found that phenolic compounds, such as benzenoids and flavonoids, could function as both essential carbon sources and semiochemicals, thereby contributing to the assemblage of rhizosphere microbiome to resist Cd stress. Our findings provide new insights into the mechanisms that drive the differential assemblage of rhizosphere and root endosphere microbiomes to enhance plant growth under abiotic stress.

Abstract
Pesticides are an indispensable part of modern farming as it aids in controlling pests and hence increase crop yield. But, unmanaged use of pesticides is a growing concern for safety and conservation of the environment. In the present study, a novel biosurfactant-producing bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa S07, was utilized to degrade carbofuran pesticide, and it was obtained at 150 mg/L concentration; 89.2% degradation was achieved on the 5th day of incubation in in vitro culture condition. GC-MS (gas chromatography and mass spectrometry) and LC-MS (liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry) analyses revealed the presence of several degradation intermediates such as hydroxycarbofurnan, ketocarbofuran, and hydroxybenzofuran, in the degradation process. The bacterium was found to exhibit tolerance towards several heavy metals: Cu, Co, Zn, Ni, and Cd, where maximum and least tolerance were obtained against Co and Ni, respectively. Additionally, the bacterium also possesses plant growth-promoting activity showing positive results in nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilising, ammonia production, and potassium solubilizing assays. Thus, from the study, it can be assumed that the bacterium can be useful in the production of bioformulation for remediation and rejuvenation of pesticide-contaminated sites in the coming days.

Abstract
Introduction The endosphere of a plant is an interface containing a thriving community of endobacteria that can affect plant growth and potential for bioremediation. Eichhornia crassipes is an aquatic macrophyte, adapted to estuarine and freshwater ecosystems, which harbors a diverse bacterial community. Despite this, we currently lack a predictive understanding of how E. crassipes taxonomically structure the endobacterial community assemblies across distinct habitats (root, stem, and leaf). Methods In the present study, we assessed the endophytic bacteriome from different compartments using 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis and verified the in vitro plant beneficial potential of isolated bacterial endophytes of E. crassipes. Results and discussion Plant compartments displayed a significant impact on the endobacterial community structures. Stem and leaf tissues were more selective, and the community exhibited a lower richness and diversity than root tissue. The taxonomic analysis of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) showed that the major phyla belonged to Proteobacteria and Actinobacteriota (> 80% in total). The most abundant genera in the sampled endosphere was Delftia in both stem and leaf samples. Members of the family Rhizobiaceae, such as in both stem and leaf samples. Members of the family Rhizobiaceae, such as Allorhizobium- Neorhizobium-Pararhizobium-Rhizobium were mainly associated with leaf tissue, whereas the genera Nannocystis and Nitrospira from the families Nannocystaceae and Nitrospiraceae, respectively, were statistically significantly associated with root tissue. Piscinibacter and Steroidobacter were putative keystone taxa of stem tissue. Most of the endophytic bacteria isolated from E. crassipes showed in vitro plant beneficial effects known to stimulate plant growth and induce plant resistance to stresses. This study provides new insights into the distribution and interaction of endobacteria across different compartments of E. crassipes Future study of endobacterial communities, using both culture-dependent and -independent techniques, will explore the mechanisms underlying the wide-spread adaptability of E. crassipesto various ecosystems and contribute to the development of efficient bacterial consortia for bioremediation and plant growth promotion.

Abstract
Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) (WH) is a widespread aquatic plant. As a top invasive macrophyte, WH causes enormous economic and ecological losses. To control it, various physical, chemical and biological methods have been developed. However, multiple drawbacks of these methods limited their application. While being a noxious macrophyte, WH has great potential in many areas, such as phytoremediation, manufacture of value-added products, and so on. Resource utilization of WH has enormous benefits and therefore, is a sustainable strategy for its control. In accordance with the increasing urgency of maintaining environmental sustainability, this review concisely introduced up to date WH utilization specifically in pollution remediation and curbing the global warming crisis and discussed the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Bioaugmentation promises benefits for agricultural production as well as for remediation and phytomining approaches. Thus, this study investigated the effect of soil inoculation with the commercially available product RhizoVital®42, which contains Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42, on nutrient uptake and plant biomass production as well as on the phytoaccumulation of potentially toxic elements, germanium, and rare earth elements (REEs). Zea mays and Fagopyrum esculentum were selected as model plants, and after harvest, the element uptake was compared between plants grown on inoculated versus reference soil. The results indicate an enrichment of B. amyloliquefaciens in inoculated soils as well as no significant impact on the inherent bacterial community composition. For F. esculentum, inoculation increased the accumulation of most nutrients and As, Cu, Pb, Co, and REEs (significant for Ca, Cu, and Co with 40%, 2042%, and 383%, respectively), while it slightly decreased the uptake of Ge, Cr, and Fe. For Z. mays, soil inoculation decreased the accumulation of Cr, Pb, Co, Ge, and REEs (significant for Co with 57%) but showed an insignificant increased uptake of Cu, As, and nutrient elements. Summarily, the results suggest that bioaugmentation with B. amyloliquefaciens is safe and has the potential to enhance/reduce the phytoaccumulation of some elements and the effects of inoculation are plant specific.
