Resistance and Removal of Chromium (Cr) and Cadmium (Cd) by Bacillus cereus and Aspergillus niger Isolated from Polytrichum commune Rhizosphere

Augustina O. Jewo, Bernard O. EJECHI & Olubunmi O. AKPOMIE · Journal of Advances in Microbiology · 2026

Bryophytes indicate the presence of metals in the environment because of their biosorption capacity. It is therefore, hypothesized that microbial communities in bryophyte rhizosphere can be highly metal-resistant; and this was tested using Bacillus cereus and Aspergillus niger is...
