environment. Two rhizobacterial strains Pantoea agglomerance (PC1) and Pseudomonas
aeruginosa (SA) having the ability to tolerate Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ ions stress, were employed in
this study. The growth promotion and survival tactics of the strains under metal stress were
explored through kinetic growth model using logistic equation, Luedeking-Piret model and
Box Behnken design. Study also involves the interaction of strains with Zea mays L. under …
