ht able to enhance cadmium mobilization in contaminated
soil. Thus, the effect of these cadmium-resistant bacteria on cadmium mobilization and cadmium uptake in H. annuus was compared to the use of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) in
this study. EDTA, a synthetic chelating agent, can assist the
phytoextraction process by increasing metal mobilization and
plant uptake
