| cesium desorption from illite as affected by exudates from rhizosphere bacteria. | biogeochemical processes in the rhizosphere can significantly alter interactions between contaminants and soil minerals. in this study, several strains of bacteria that exude aluminum (al)-chelating compounds were isolated from the rhizosphere of crested wheatgrass (agropyron desertorum) collected from the idaho national laboratory (inl). we examined the effects of exudates from bacteria in the genera bacillus, ralstonia, and enterobacter on cesium (cs) desorption from illite. exudates from thes ... | 2005 | 16047787 |
