Extending the benefits of PGPR to bioremediation of nitrile pollution in crop lands for enhancing crop productivity

Copyright © 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved..

Incessant release of nitrile group of compounds such as cyanides into agricultural land through industrial effluents and excessive use of nitrile pesticides has resulted in increased nitrile pollution. Release of nitrile compounds (NCs) as plant root exudates is also contributing to the problem. The released NCs interact with soil elements and persists for a long time. Persistent higher concentration of NCs in soil cause toxicity to beneficial microflora and affect crop productivity. The NCs can cause more problems to human health if they reach groundwater and enter the food chain. Nitrile degradation by soil bacteria can be a solution to the problem if thoroughly exploited. However, the impact of such bacteria in plant and soil environments is still not properly explored. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) with nitrilase activity has recently gained attention as potential solution to address the problem. This paper reviews the core issue of nitrile pollution in soil and the prospects of application of nitrile degrading bacteria for soil remediation, soil health improvement and plant growth promotion in nitrile-polluted soils. The possible mechanisms of PGPR that can be exploited to degrade NCs, converting them into plant useful compounds and synthesis of the phytohormone IAA from degraded NCs are also discussed at length.
