  • Resumen
    • The Bradford-reactive soil protein (BRSP) fraction includes glomalin, a glycoprotein produced by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi able to bind some metals, such as copper (Cu), which could promote the bioremediation of Cu-polluted soils. This study aimed to analyze the Cu-binding capacity of BRSP in Oenothera picensis that was inoculated or not inoculated with AM fungi. O. picensis plants were established in a Cu contaminated sterilized soil and treated with the following: i) uninoculated (-M); ii) inoculated with native AM fungal propagules (+M); or iii) inoculated with a Claroideoglomus claroideum (CC) strain isolated from non-contaminated soil. In each case, five Cu levels were applied to the soil (basal level 497.3 mg Cu kg-1): 0 (T1); 75 (T2); 150 (T3); 225 (T4); and 300 mg Cu kg-1 (T5). A high BRSP accumulation in AM inoculated treatments, especially with CC, was observed. A higher Cu-bound-to-BRSP content was found with increasing Cu concentrations, representing up to 20-22% of the total Cu in the soil. Moreover, a higher root Cu concentration in +M was observed. These results suggest a high Cu binding capacity by BRSP, which is a relevant aspect to consider in the design of bioremediation programs together with the selection of endemic metallophytes and AM fungal strains, which are able to produce glomalin at high quantities.
