Effect of cadmium stress on the bacterial community in the rhizosphere of mulberry (Morus alba L.).

ABSTRACT: Mulberry has a good tolerance to cadmium (Cd) and is considered a candidate plant for phytoremediation. The rhizosphere microbial community plays an important role in phytoremediation. Nevertheless, little information on the rhizosphere microbial community mechanisms in mulberry during the phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated soil is available. In this study, the remediation efficiency of mulberry in pots subjected to three simulated Cd pollution levels and their rhizosphere bacterial communities during the remediation process were analyzed. "Yuesang 11" was used as the test mulberry variety, and three simulated Cd pollution levels were set by adding three concentrations of Cd (Cd5, 5 mg kg^-1; Cd3, 3 mg kg^-1; Cd2, 2 mg kg^-1). The results showed that the elim
