Description
Tatiana V Shirshikova and co-authors published a study in 2025 on a soil bacterium that might serve as a living fertilizer in polluted fields. Farms lean on chemicals, metals, and antibiotics that linger in soil, and helpful microbes must survive all three to be useful. The team profiled one hardy strain taken from rock, checking both its body and its genome.
The strain tolerated pesticides, heavy metals, and many antibiotics while carrying few resistance genes of its own. Its genome held two harmless island regions and a built-in defense system against viruses. Low risk of spreading resistance makes it safer than many candidates. The authors present it as a biofertilizer prospect for contaminated soils.
