Popis: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major foodstuff for over 40% of the world’s population. However, hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] in contaminated soil significantly affects wheat production and its ecological environment. Streptomyces sp. HU2014 was first used to investigate the effects of Cr (VI) stress on wheat growth. We analyzed the Cr(VI) concentration, physicochemical properties of wheat and soil, total Cr content, and microbial community structures during their interactions. HU2014 reduced the toxicity of Cr(VI) and promoted wheat growth by increasing total nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, total phosphorus, and Olsen-phosphorus in Cr(VI)-contaminated soil. These four soil variables had strong positive effects on two bacterial taxa, Proteobacteria and Bacteroidota, in the HU2014 treatments. In addition, the level of the dominant Proteobacteria positively correlated with the total Cr content in the soil. Among the fungal communities, which had weaker correlations with soil variables compared with bacterial communities, Ascomycota was the most abundant. Our findings suggest that HU2014 can promote the phytoremediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated soil.
