Genomic and functional insights on <i>Priestia megaterium</i> MOD5IV: enhancing metal phytoremediation potential in arid environments
MOD5IV is a novel native isolate from the extreme Atacama Desert, with an integrated genomic and functional profile that positions it as a highly promising bioinoculant. Its robust multi-metal resistance and high PGP capacity are specifically adapted to counteract the synergistic stresses of aridity and multimetallic toxicity, characteristic of rigorous field conditions.
