Abstrakt: Lead (Pb) is the 2 nd known portentous hazardous substance after arsenic (As). Being highly noxious, widespread, non-biodegradable, prolonged environmental presence, and increasing accumulation, particularly in arable land, Pb pollution has become a serious global health concern requiring urgent remediation. Soil-borne, indigenous microbes from Pb-polluted sites have evolved diverse resistance strategies, involving biosorption, bioprecipitation, biomineralization, biotransformation, and efflux mechanisms, under continuous exposure to Pb in human-impacted surroundings. These strategies employ a wide range of functional bioligands to capture Pb and render it inaccessible for leaching. Recent breakthroughs in molecular technology and understanding of lead resistance mechanisms offer the potential for utilizing microbes as biological tools in environmental risk assessment. Leveraging the specific affinity and sensitivity of bacterial regulators to Pb 2+ ions, numerous lead biosensors have been designed and deployed worldwide to monitor Pb bioavailability in contaminated sites, even at trace levels. Besides, the ongoing degradation of croplands due to Pb pollution poses a significant challenge to meet the escalating global food demands. The accumulation of Pb in plant tissues jeopardizes both food safety and security while severely impacting plant growth. Exploring Pb-resistant plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) presents a promising sustainable approach to agricultural practices. The active associations of PGPR with host plants have shown enhancements in plant biomass and stress alleviation under Pb influence. They thus serve a dual purpose for plants grown in Pb-contaminated areas. This review aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of the role played by Pb-resistant soil-borne indigenous bacteria in expediting bioremediation and improving the growth of Pb-challenged plants essential for potential field application, thus broadening prospects for future research and development.
