摘要： Tobacco leaves usually accumulate and concentrate high levels of cadmium (Cd) when growing in contaminated soil, and the transfer of Cd through tobacco smoke to human body could cause serious health risks. In this study, we explored the impact of biofertilizers on alleviating Cd-induced growth inhibition of tobacco leaves. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) was planted in three naturally Cd-polluted soils from Chinese main tobacco-planting areas. Adding biofertilizer alleviated Cd-induced degradation of tobacco leaves quality, represented by the balanced K, Cl, N, nicotine or sugar contents and their ratios; Cd reduction rate of tobacco leaves was increased and soil extractable Cd was decreased, when compared with CK (no extra biofertilizer addition). The following changing tendencies were believed to be responsible for immobilizing soil Cd and alleviating its toxicity to tobacco leaves: the re-distribution of Cd from the fraction of smaller soil aggregates to the fraction of larger soil aggregates; and the shift of major soil microbes by increasing the abundance of beneficial taxa such as those from the phyla Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria or Chloroflexi. In all biofertilizer treatments, the effectiveness in mitigating Cd toxicity to tobacco leaves was dependent on the type of biofertilizer and soil applied. This study provides a feasible way to control or reduce Cd toxicity for sustainable tobacco production.
