Lead biosorption by <scp><i>Bacillus tequilensis</i> FB</scp>‐6: characterization of resistance mechanisms and its potential for remediation of contaminated soil
B. tequilensis FB-6 exhibits strong Pb tolerance and immobilization capacity, primarily through EPS-mediated biosorption and mineral precipitation. Its ability to reduce Pb bioavailability and support plant health underscores its promise as a biological tool for in situ remediation of Pb-contaminated agricultural soils. Further field-scale research is warranted to evaluate its practical applicability in diverse environmental contexts. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
