Overview of the Role of Nitrogen in Copper Pollution and Bioremediation Mediated by Plant–Microbe Interactions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Soil Nitrogen Ecology

Part of the book series: Soil Biology ((SOILBIOL,volume 62))

Abstract

Nitrogen is an essential and incredibly versatile element for living organisms. In agriculture, nitrogen is a key element to understand soil and aquatic pollution, very often associated with heavy metal pollution. In this chapter, we overview the correlations between nitrogen and copper pollution, mediated by antimicrobial compounds used in agriculture. Plant Growth-Promoting Microorganisms (PGPM) are a heterogeneous group of microorganisms ranging from Bacteria (PGPBs) to Archaea and Fungi, which can modulate plant growth by conferring direct and indirect benefits, such as phytohormone production and stress alleviation. Many of these microorganisms are tolerant to high concentrations of Copper, increasing plant productivity even under metallic stress. We suggest the use of bacterial and fungal species associated with plant species for the bioremediation of degraded soil and water bodies, alarm about the bioaugmentation of copper through economically relevant plants, and review plant and microbial species applied to bioremediation.
