Popis: Citrobacter sp. XT1-2-2, a functional microorganism with potential utilization, has the ability to immobilize soil cadmium. In this study, the regulatory gene cysH, as a rate-limiting enzyme in the sulfur metabolic pathway, was selected for functional analysis affecting cadmium immobilization in soil. To verify the effect of APS reductase on CdS formation, the ΔAPS and ΔAPS-com strains were constructed by conjugation transfer. Through TEM analysis, it was found that the adsorption of Cd2+ was affected by the absence of APS reductase in XT1-2-2 strain. The difference analysis of biofilm formation indicated that APS reductase was necessary for cell aggregation and biofilm formation. The p-XRD, XPS and FT-IR analysis revealed that APS reductase played an important role in the cadmium immobilization process of XT1-2-2 strain and promoting the formation of CdS. According to the pot experiments, the cadmium concentration of roots, culms, leaves and grains inoculated with ΔAPS strain was significantly higher than that of wild-type and ΔAPS-com strains, and the cadmium removal ability of ΔAPS strain was significantly lower than that of wild-type strain. The study provided insights into the exploration of new bacterial assisted technique for the remediation and safe production of rice in cadmium-contaminated paddy soils.
