Abstract:This research used the potted plant approach,BCR four steps work,flame atomic absorption method,and the method of dilution coated tablet to study the joint action of Rhodopseudanonas palustris and Bacillus subtilis,as well as the efficacy and safety,for remediation of cadmium pollution in farmland soil by Chinese cabbage in order to explore its effectiveness and to provide theoretical basis for application of the new type bio-bacterial manure. The results showed that either R. palustris or B. subtilis alone,or their combination could enhance the fixation of the metal in soil by increasing insoluble state cadmium and decreasing cadmium bioavailability. The combination of two bacteria significantly reduced cadmium bioavailability by 32.70%. All bacteria treatments showed significant influence on the number of soil microorganisms (P<0.05),and the amount of bacteria reached 105 CFU/g. The treatments with various microorganisms all increased the plant height and fresh weight of cabbage,the content of chlorophyll a and b,and the ratio of chlorophyll a/b,meanwhile reduced the content of cadmium in the root and stem of cabbage with removal rate of 58.06%~71.37% and 73.66%~76.70%,respectively. The combination treatment group had the highest remediating effect with the biomass of Chinese cabbage increased by 18.13%~69.55%. The results demonstrated that the combination of R. spalustris and B. subtilis had a strong ability to remove cadmium from contaminated soil,could significantly promote the growth of Chinese cabbage,and showed the potential for remediation of heavy metal pollution in farmland soil.
