The effect of both fungal consortia on <em>Plantago lanceolata </em>plant growth in a substrate amended with 200 mg kg<sup>-1</sup> of Cr and with 400 mg kg<sup>-1</sup> Cr was assessed and compared with the growth of plants inoculated with <em>Glomus intraradices</em> BEG72. Only the plants inoculated with <em>G. intraradices</em> BEG72 and with the fungal consortia obtained from the area with a high Cr contamination (zone B) grew in the soil with 400 mg kg<sup>-1</sup> of Cr. The consortia of fungi from zone B, decreased the plant’s uptake/translocation of the heavy metal compared with <em>G. intraradices</em> BEG72. These results underscore the differential effect of AM fungi in conferring bioprotection in Cr contaminated soils.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Agricultural and Food Science}, author={Nogales, Amaia and Cortés, Amparo and Velianos, Konstantinos and Camprubí, Amelia and Estaún, Victoria and Calvet, Cinta}, year={2012}, month={Mar.}, pages={72–79} }
