The research mainly studies the impact of nitrate-contaminated groundwater on B. subtilis growth and its influence on plant growth. Ion chromatography analysis of nitrate-contaminated groundwater samples reveals varying media compositions that sustain B. subtilis growth. Nitrate uptake efficiency is evaluated through ion chromatography, indicating a reduction in nitrate content as microbial growth progresses.
Furthermore, the application of biologically treated groundwater by B. subtilis promotes plant growth, exemplified by kidney beans. The study’s significance lies in securing water resources and ensuring sustainable food production. Future research will examine the long-term effects of microorganisms on groundwater, encompassing crop productivity, water conservation, and ecosystem considerations.
This is how I came up with the idea for this project:The research was prompted by the alarming discovery of agricultural groundwater pollution. Recognizing the need for water resilience, the study aimed to develop a sustainable system harnessing the potential of PGPR-groundwater interaction to safeguard water resources and promote the well-being of both people and the environment.
