Abstract
Heavy metal pollution of the soil is a relevant environmental problem. Plant growth promoting and tolerance heavy metal bacteria are a promising technique for phytoremediation. The aim of this study was to isolate heavy metal-tolerant rhizobia from Calobota saharae. Tolerance to a range of heavy metal ions was determined by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) for Rhizobia which was isolated from Calobota saharae. The Rhizobium leguminosarum GM01 strain exhibited strong tolerance to a range of heavy metals including lead (Pb), Cobalt (Co), and zinc (Zn). R. leguminosarum GM01 have great potentials for plant growth promotion and phytoremediation of contaminated soils.
