Abstract

Rhizobacteria from the N-fixing Azotobacter genera can be used as bioremediation agents. Azotobacter produces exopolysaccharides (EPS) that chelate heavy metals and synthesize metabolites to promote plant growth. This research aimed to analyze the resistance of the Azotobacter consortium isolated from tailings contaminated with mercury (Hg) in synthesizing secondary metabolites in liquid cultures contaminated with Hg, as well as the effect of the Azotobacter consortium on corn growth in various tailings-based media compositions containing Hg. The Hg resistance test was carried out using a completely randomized design with 100, 200, and 400 mg/L HgCl2 in N-free media. The greenhouse experiment was designed in a randomized block design to treat various concentrations of organic matter in the tailings. The results showed that Azotobacter isolates were able to survive in Ashby broth containing Hg up to 400 mg/L, and the consortium produced significant amounts of auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, oxalic acid, citric acid, and EPS. In addition, Azotobacter increased corn growth in Hg-contaminated tailings with the addition of 6:4 compost (tailings: compost). Azotobacter is resistant to Hg up to 400 mg/L; as a consortium, it can produce secondary metabolites and has a good influence on the growth of corn in tailings containing Hg.

Abstract

Improper disposal of mercury (Hg)-contaminated tailings on agricultural fields can reduce land quality for food production. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of the Azotobacter consortium, comprising Azotobacter tropicalis S5, A. vinelandii S6a, and A. chrooccocum S9, on the Carbon-to-Nitrogen (C/N) ratio and Hg levels in tailings as well as foxtail millet growth, biomass, and mercury in plants. The experiment used a randomized block design with three levels of Azotobacter liquid inoculant, i.e., 3, 15, and 30 mL per pot, and six replications. The control did not receive inoculant. After six weeks, the treatment did not alter the pH, total nitrogen, organic carbon, carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, or total mercury levels in the soil; however, it did promote an increase in shoot height and leaf number, without affecting plant biomass. Applying 30 mL/pot of Azotobacter inoculant enhanced Azotobacter and total bacterial populations in the rhizosphere. The Azotobacter inoculant did not alter nitrogen uptake but potentially reduced mercury content in the plants. The Pearson’s test showed that Azotobacter levels in the substrate were significantly correlated with the decreased mercury content of plants. These findings suggest that the application of the Azotobacter consortium can lead to improved plant growth and a reduction in mercury uptake by millet plants grown in tailing-based substrate. Further research is necessary to develop more effective inoculants and extend the study period.
