MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511005148 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on January 22, 2025, for Multi-Functional Phytoremediation System Using Mycorrhizal Symbiosis For Enhanced Metal Uptake.
Inventors include Prasann Kumar; and Mastu Patel.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-functional phytoremediation system that utilizes mycorrhizal symbiosis to enhance heavy metal uptake from contaminated soils. The system integrates hyperaccumulator plants known for their ability to absorb metals such as lead, cadmium, zinc, and copper, with mycorrhizal fungi that form symbiotic relationships with plant roots to improve nutrient and metal uptake. Organic and inorganic soil amendments are incorporated to enhance soil health, while a root-zone bioreactor optimizes the interaction between plants, fungi, and soil. The system also includes an automated irrigation and monitoring system to ensure optimal conditions for plant growth and track heavy metal concentrations. This eco-friendly, modular system offers an effective, sustainable solution for soil remediation in diverse environments.
