However, this kind of water can contain toxic bloom-forming cyanobacteria, and its use as a source for irrigation water can enable a transfer of cyanobacterial toxins (microcystins) into crop plant. When microcystins are accumulated in crop plants, they pose serious human health risk. The aim of this study is to explore the potential of selected rhizobacteria strains in inoculation with\n                    <jats:italic>Vicia faba<\/jats:italic>\n                    plants to mitigate microcystins-induced phytotoxicity and health risks.

Inoculation with selected rhizobacteria strains alleviated these effects, enhancing root biomass, stomatal conductance, chlorophyll content, leaf quantum yield, and nitrogen content and slightly increasing GS activity. Among tested strains,\n                    <jats:italic>Achromobacter marplatensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    showed the strongest protection, reducing microcystin accumulation by approximately 36% compared to uninoculated plants. Estimated daily intake values derived from residual microcystins remained below World Health Organization safety thresholds, indicating a lowered potential risk. These findings demonstrate that soil-based inoculation with targeted rhizosphere bacteria can protect plants from microcystin-induced damage, providing a strain-specific, sustainable bioremediation strategy to maintain crop productivity and food safety in regions exposed to microcystin-contaminated irrigation water.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11356-025-37185-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,21]],"date-time":"2025-11-21T00:53:48Z","timestamp":1763686428000},"page":"27101-27116","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Selected rhizobacteria strains improved the tolerance of Vicia faba plants to microcystins contaminated irrigation water and reduced human health risk"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Nadia","family":"Elidrissi El Yallouli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"El Mahdi","family":"Redouane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Mugani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Lahcen","family":"Ouchari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Mariana","family":"Gir\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Maria F\u00e1tima","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Alexandre","family":"Campos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Vitor","family":"Vasconcelos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Brahim","family":"Oudra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Majida","family":"Lahrouni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4091-749X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John","family":"Pot\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,21]]},"reference":[{"issue":"20","key":"37185_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2703","DOI":"10.1080\/01904167.2019.1655038","volume":"42","author":"A Abdiev","year":"2019","unstructured":"Abdiev A, Khaitov B, Toderich K, Park KW (2019) Growth, nutrient uptake and yield parameters of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) enhanced by Rhizobium and Azotobacter inoculations in saline soil.
