PhD Dissertation at the University of Basrah Explores the Bioremediation of Certain Bacterial Genera
A doctoral dissertation at the College of Agriculture, University of Basrah, investigated the bioremediation potential of selected natural and genetically mutated bacterial genera in removing lead and cadmium from contaminated soils and their effects on barley growth.
The dissertation, presented by researcher Huda Ahmed Yaseen, aimed to evaluate the efficiency of bacteria in reducing soil contamination with heavy metals and to enhance their effectiveness through the induction of genetic mutations using advanced physical techniques.
The study included both laboratory and greenhouse experiments, and its findings demonstrated the success of mutagenesis in improving bacterial capabilities for pollutant removal and in enhancing barley growth, thereby contributing to sustainable environmental solutions.
