Evaluation of the oxidative stress alleviation in Lupinus albus var. orden Dorado by the inoculation of four plant growth-promoting bacteria and their mixtures in mercury-polluted soils.

ABSTRACT: Mercury (Hg) pollution is a serious environmental and public health problem. Hg has the ability to biomagnify through the trophic chain and generate various pathologies in humans. The exposure of plants to Hg affects normal plant growth and its stress levels, producing oxidative cell damage. Root inoculation with plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) can help reduce the absorption of Hg, minimizing the harmful effects of this metal in the plant. This study evaluates the phytoprotective capacity of four bacterial strains selected for their PGPB capabilities, quantified by the calculation of the biomercuroremediator suitability index (IIBMR), and their consortia, in the Lupinus albus var. orden Dorado. The oxidative stress modulating capacity in the inoculated plant was analyzed by m
