Effects of Microbacterium algeriense C14 on Zinnia elegans Under Cadmium-Nickel Stress

A dataset from a study investigating the synergistic remediation of cadmium-nickel co-contaminated soil using Microbacterium algeriense C14 and Zinnia elegans. The research, authored by Hansheng Liu and published on figshare in 2026, includes data on microbial resistance, plant growth metrics, physiological responses, and heavy metal uptake. The dataset is 508.8 KB in size and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling plant growth promotion under heavy metal stress based on germination and seedling growth metrics.
• Analyzing microbial immobilization mechanisms based on data for carboxylate-mediated heavy metal precipitation.
• Studying correlations between physiological markers (like SOD, POD activity) and heavy metal uptake in plants.
• Evaluating the dual resistance of bacterial strains to cadmium and nickel based on specified tolerance thresholds.

Strengths

• Includes specific microbial resistance thresholds: Ni2+ tolerance up to 800 mg·L−1 and Cd2+ tolerance up to 120 mg·L−1.
• Measures multiple plant response variables: seed germination, growth, soluble protein content, and enzyme activities.
• Data is derived from controlled indoor culture and pot experiments, suggesting a structured experimental design.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small in scale at 508.8 KB, indicating limited data volume.
