Chitosan (CTS) is recognized for enhancing a plant's resilience to various environmental stresses, such as salinity and drought. Moreover, salicylic acid (SA) acknowledged growth regulator involved in addressing metal toxicity. However, the effectiveness of both compounds mitigating Cr-induced stress has remained relatively unexplored, especially case Aconitum napellus, medicinally floricultural important plant. Therefore, primary objective this study was investigate potential CTS SA alleviating chromium (Cr)-induced A. napellus. To address these research questions, we conducted controlled experiment using potted plants evaluate individual combined impacts on exposed Cr stress. Foliar application (0.4 g/L) or (0.25 mmol/L) led significant improvements growth, chlorophyll content, fluorescence, photosynthetic traits napellus under The most notable effects were observed with SA, resulting increases morphological parameters, shoot length (2.89% 7.02%) root (27.75% 3.36%) 1 2 treatments, respectively. Additionally, several physiological (762.5% 145.56%), b carotenoid (17.03% 28.57%), anthocyanin (112.01% 47.96%) contents, notably improved treatment fluorescence parameters while decreasing levels enzymatic antioxidants catalase (27.59% 43.79%, respectively). also increased osmoprotectant total protein content (54.11% 20.07%) soluble sugar (78.17% 49.82%) leaves In summary, results strongly suggest that simultaneous use exogenous an effective strategy detrimental This integrated approach opens promising avenues further exploration implementation within agricultural production systems.

In this study, we investigated the heavy metal absorption of Alcaligenes faecalis strain U.B.I., a bacteria isolated from mining site, under different environmental conditions. We utilized both conventional and molecular techniques to identify employed response surface methodology (R.S.M.) determine optimal conditions for absorption. Our analysis revealed that metal-tolerant belong Proteobacteria, specifically Betaproteobacteria order in Burkholderiales family. Additionally, bacteria’s phylogenetic characteristics indicated close relationship between Aeromonas sp. cluster members Aeromonadaceae results showed biomass A. U.B.I. had an potential chromium (Cr+) at 93.0%. also conducted tests on optimized lead (Pb2+) using R.S.M., resulting mean uptake 89.99%. Furthermore, analyzed functional groups after interaction with metals observed significant shift position groups. The O-H stretch H-bonded 3268 cm1 position, while C=C N-O asymmetrical stretch/C-O occurred positions 2195 cm-1 1629 spectra, respectively. findings suggest has bioremediation can be used biosorption various
