Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can accelerate phytoremediation, especially in those fertilized soils. However, PSB function in oligotrophic growth substrates remains poorly studied. In this study, we isolated lead (Pb)- and cadmium (Cd)-resistant PSB from contaminated sandy soil at an abandoned lubricant plant. The isolated Pantoea sp. PP4 (PP4 hereafter) can produce organic acid and IAA (Indole-3-acetic acid) and dissolve up to 238 mg/L of inorganic phosphate Ca₂(PO₄)₃, exhibiting biosorption capability for Pb and bioprecipitation for Pb and Cd. In the sand pot experiment, inoculation of PP4 increased the accumulation of Pb and Cd in Lolium multiflorum Lam. by 28.9% and 95.5%, respectively, and increased the available phosphorous in oligotrophic river sand by 30.8% (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the growth of Lolium multiflorum Lam. was also stimulated, resulting in 89.2%, 57.1%, 184.6%, and 28.5% increase in fresh weight, dry weight, root length, and shoot length, respectively. NMDS analysis showed that the bacterial communities in river sand were more clustered after inoculation with PP4. These results indicated that the application of Pantoea sp. PP4 can facilitate the phytoremediation of Pb and Cd in oligotrophic growth substrates, forming a convergent bacterial community. Our findings highlighted the importance of identifying ideal PSB to improve phytoremediation efficiency in oligotrophic environments.
