Abstract

The successful restoration of well-engineered tailings storage facilities is needed to avoid mine tailings problems. This study characterized the bacterial communities from vegetated and non-vegetated soils from a red gypsum landfill resulting from the industrial extraction of titanium. A set of 275 bacteria was isolated from vegetated soil and non-vegetated soil areas and taxonomically characterized using BOX-PCR. The study also evaluated the ability of a subset of 88 isolated bacteria on their ability to produce plant growth promoting (PGP) traits [indoleacetic acid (IAA) production, phosphate solubilization, and siderophore production] and their tolerance to potentially toxic elements (PTEs). Twenty strains were chosen for further analysis to produce inoculum for birch-challenging experiments. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the set of pedological parameters (pH, granulometry, carbon, organic matter, and Mg content) alone explained approximately 40% of the differences between the two soils. The highest density of total culturable bacteria was found in the vegetated soil, and it was much higher than that in the non-vegetated soil. The Actinobacteria phyla dominated the culturable soil community (70% in vegetated soil and 95% in non-vegetated soil), while the phyla Firmicutes (including the genus Bacillus) and Bacteroides (including the genera Pedobacter and Olivibacter) were found only in the vegetated soil fraction. Additional genera (Rhizobium, Variovorax, and Ensifer) were found solely in the vegetated soil. The vegetated soil bacteria harbored the most beneficial PGP bacteria with 12% of the isolates showing three or more PGP traits. The strains with higher metal tolerances in our study were Phyllobacterium sp. WR140 (RO1.15), Phyllobacterium sp. WR140 (R01.34), and Streptomyces sp. (R04.15), all isolated from the vegetated soil. Among the isolates tested in challenging experiments, Phyllobacterium (R01.34) and Streptomyces sp. (R05.33) have the greatest potential to act as PGP rhizobacteria and therefore to be used in the biological restoration of tailings dumps.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 August 2018.
All research outputs
#22,767,715
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Microbiology
#26,920
of 29,299 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#298,702
of 341,622 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Microbiology
#642
of 736 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 29,299 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 341,622 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 736 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
