The phytoremediation process may be viewed as a symbiotic process between plants and soil microbes that involved in phytoremediation (Lasat, 2002). Plant and bacterial interaction can enhance the effectiveness of phytoremediation technology because plants provide carbon and energy sources or root exudates in the rhizosphere that will support microbial community in the degradation and transformation of soil pollutants (Siciliano and Germida, 1998). In addition, the presence of soil microbes can increase the water solubility or bioavailability of pollutants in soils, which facilitates the uptake of pollutants by plants (Lasat, 2002 Siciliano and Germida, 1998). However, the specificity of the plant-bacteria interactions besides being much intricate is dependent upon soil and the aqueous conditions, which can alter contaminant...

Plant roots take up cesium readily because of its similarity with the essential nutrient, potassium. Plants differ in their accumulation of cesium (Broadley and Willey, 1997 Lasat et al., 1998 Broadley et al., 1999a,b). This may be due to differences in rooting pattern, root uptake, or translocation within the plant, but the cause is not clearly identified. Cesium is mobile within plants and has similar trends in the translocation within plants to K (Broadley and Willey, 1997 Zhu and Smolders, 2000). Rather little is known about differences between species in their capacity to discriminate between Cs and K. There appears to be a threshold below which Cs uptake by roots increases with decreasing K concentration. The value of this threshold has been reported to be 1 mmol L , 250 Itmol L , or 20 Itmol (Shaw and Bell, 1989, 1991 Shaw et al., 1992 Buysse et al., 1996 Smolders et al., 1996 Zhu, 2001). This inhibition may be due in part to increased efflux of absorbed Cs (Zhu et al., 1999). Model prediction of Cs uptake often overpredict uptake and are improved if account is take of soil-solution potassium concentration below 1 mM (Smolders et al., 1997 Absolom et al., 1999 Roca-Jove and Vallejo-Calzada, 2000), Cs uptake is found to be enhanced by potassium starvation (Jones et al., 1998 Broadley et al., 1999b Zhu et al., 2000), but the effect is short-lived (Willey and Martin, 1997 Staunton et al., 2003). 

The results of LASAT can be correlated and thus validated by ultrasonic evaluation in a transmission configuration that reveals delaminated areas when the ultrasonic wave is not transmitted (see Chapter 7.5.1.4, Figure 7.31).
