The team of Professor Zhou Pei from Shanghai Jiaotong University has made a series of major progress in revealing the bioremediation mechanism of secondary salinized soil

Recently, Professor Zhou Pei's team from the School of Agriculture and Biology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University published online research on microbial remediation of secondary salinized soil in the internationally renowned journals Journal of Cleaner Production (IF = 1072) and Chemosphere (IF = 943) in the field of ecological environme.

The area of ​​facility cultivation in China ranks first in the world, accounting for about 80% of the total area of ​​facility cultivation in the wor.

The paper " How bacteria remediate soil nitrate for sustainable crop production " elucidated the nitrogen transformation pathway and rate of Bacillus megaterium NCT-2 in secondary salinized soil under facility cultivation by means of 15N isotope tracing and real-time fluorescence quantitative P.

The paper "A sustainable approach for removing nitrate: Studying the nitrate transformation and metabolic potential under different carbon source by microorganism" analyzed the effect of NCT-2 strain on 31 carbon sources for microbial enrichment of nitric acid in different degrees of secondary salinized so.

The paper " A sustainable approach for bioremediation of secondary salinized soils: Studying remediation efficiency and soil nitrate transformation by bioaugmentation " further explored the remediation efficiency of NCT-2 inoculants on secondary salinized soils of different degrees, and revealed differences in remediation efficiency reas.

You Yimin, a doctoral student in ecology from the School of Agriculture and Biology of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, is the first author of the paper, and Professor Zhou Pei and Associate Researcher Zhang Dan are the corresponding autho.
