Cadmium cations (Cd2+) are extremely toxic to organisms, which limits the remediation of Cd by microorganisms. This study investigated the feasibility of applying biochar to protect bacteria from extreme Cd2+ stress (1000 mg/L). An alkaline biochar (RB) and a slightly acidic biochar (SB) were select...
