This study aimed to use a combination of Brevundimonas sp (PS-4 MN238722.1) and Saccharum munja L. plant for heavy metals phytoremediation from pulp and paper industry (PPI) sludge. The results showed that Saccharum munja L. plants have the ability to absorb and translocate heavy metals, and Brevundimonas sp. (PS-4 MN238722.1) exhibited plant growth-promoting activity. This study provides an effective solution for the interdisciplinary management of industrial sludge in polluted areas.
Heavy metals phytoremediation from pulp and paper industry (PPI) sludge was conducted by employing root associated Brevundimonas sp (PS-4 MN238722.1) in rhizospheric zone of Saccharum munja L. for its detoxification. The study was aimed to investigate the efficiency of Saccharum munja L. for the removal of heavy metals along with physico-chemical parameters through bacterial interactions. Physico-chemical examination of PPI sludge showed biochemical oxygen demand (8357 +/- 94 mg kg(-1)), electrical conductivity (2264 +/- 49 mu mhoscm(-1)), total phenol (521 +/- 24 mg kg(-1)), total dissolve solid (1547 +/- 23 mg kg(-1)), total nitrogen (264 +/- 2.13 mg kg(-1)), pH (8.2 +/- 0.11), chemical oxygen demand (34756 +/- 214 mg kg(-1)), color (2434 +/- 45 Co-Pt), total suspended solid (76 +/- 0.67 mg kg(-1)), sulphate (2462 +/- 13 mg kg(-1)), chlorolignin (597 +/- 13.01 mg kg(-1)), K+ (21.04 +/- 0.26 mg kg(-1)), total solid (1740 +/- 54 mg kg(-1)), phosphorous, Cl-, and Na+. Heavy metals, such as Fe followed by Zn, Mn, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, As, Cr and Hg were above the permissible limit. Root and shoot of Saccharum munja L. revealed highest concentrations of Cd followed by Mn, Ni, Fe, Zn, Cu, As, Cr, Hg, and Pb. Tested metals (Fe, Mn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, Ni, As, and Hg) bioaccumulation and translocation factors were also revealed to be < 1 and >1, respectively, demonstrating that these plants have considerable absorption and translocation abilities. Plant growth-promoting activity, such as ligninolytic enzymes, hydrolytic enzymes, indole acetic acid, and siderophore production activity of Brevundimonas sp. (PS-4 MN238722.1) were also noted to be higher. These findings support the use of Brevundimonas sp (PS-4 MN238722.1) in combination with Saccharum munda L. plant as interdisciplinary management of industrial sludge at polluted areas for the prevention of soils near the industrial site.
