Summary: In this study, five endophytic bacterial strains were used to enhance the growth yields of tomato and biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The inoculation of bacterial strains improved root and shoot length, biomass, leaf chlorophyll contents, and fruit weight of the tomato. Methylophilus flavus (MS-4) showed the highest enhancement in fruit yield compared to the control. All five bacterial strains were capable of biosynthesizing AgNPs, with Bacillus cereus MS-2, Bacillus flexus (MS-3), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MS-5) being the strongest producers. The biosynthesized AgNPs exhibited antibacterial activity against various pathogenic and endophytic bacterial strains.

Summary: Phytoremediation of metals from water and nutrient media exposed to waste metal cutting fluid was tested using Azolla imbricata. Results showed that biomass was higher in nutrient media than in water media without waste metal cutting fluid. However, growth failed when exposed to high concentrations of waste metal cutting fluid. Correlation analysis revealed that biomass was positively affected by temperature and negatively affected by humidity and metal accumulation. The average accumulations of Al, Cd, Cr, Fe, Pb, and Zn were observed and the bioconcentration factor indicated Azolla imbricata acts as a hyperaccumulator of Zn and as an accumulator or excluder of other metals. Overall, the phytoremediation performance of Azolla imbricata in multi-metal-contaminated waste metal cutting fluid was high in water media under all environmental conditions. The use of water media was determined to be an economically feasible approach for the removal of metals from waste metal cutting fluid.
