Erratum to: Role of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria in the remediation of metal contaminated soils

Erratum to: Environ Chem Lett (2009) 7:1–19 DOI 10.1007/s10311-008-0155-0

The authors unintentionally omitted to mention the correct references to Figs. 8 and 10.

Fig. 8

Strategies of metal uptake by plants depending on the concentration of metal in soil (adapted from Adriano 2001)

Fig. 10

Metabolism of plants damaged by heavy metals

The reference to Fig. 8 should have read as follows:

Greger M (1999) Metal availability and bioconcentration in plants, pp. 1–27. In: Prasad MNV and Hagemeyer J (eds) (1999) Heavy metal stress in plants: from molecules to ecosystems. Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg, 401 pp and Prasad MNV, Greger M, Smith BN (2001) Aquatic macrophytes, pp. 259–288. In: Prasad MNV (ed) Metals in the environment: analysis by biodiversity. Marcel Dekker Inc., New York, 504 pp.

The reference to Fig. 10 should have read as follows:

Adapted from “Devi SR, Prasad MNV (1999) Membrane lipid alterations in heavy metal exposed plants. In: Prasad MNV, Hagemeyer J (eds) Heavy metal stress in plants: from molecules to ecosystems, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, pp. 99–116.” Adapted with permission.
