Effects of Microbacterium Algeriense C14 on Zinnia Elegans Under Cadmium-Nickel Stress

Microbacterium algeriense C14 demonstrated strong resistance to Ni2+ (up to 800 mg·L−1) and Cd2+ (up to 120 mg·L−1). This dataset from figshare contains results from pot experiments investigating the strain's effect on Zinnia elegans seed germination, plant growth, physiological metabolism, and heavy metal enrichment under co-stress. The data was uploaded by Hansheng Liu and last updated on June 4, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling plant growth promotion based on inoculation with a heavy metal-resistant bacterium.
• Analyzing heavy metal immobilization mechanisms based on carboxylate-mediated mineralization data.
• Studying physiological stress responses based on soluble protein content and enzyme activity measurements.
• Evaluating phytoremediation efficiency based on cadmium and nickel enrichment levels in plant tissues.

Strengths

• Data is derived from controlled pot experiments investigating a specific plant-microbe system.
• The study provides mechanistic insights into carboxylate-mediated heavy metal immobilization.
• Results include multiple measured endpoints: seed germination, plant growth, physiological metrics, and metal uptake.

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 (740.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
