Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) produced by microorganisms play an important role in biotolerance and reducing heavy metal (HM) contamination by limiting the migration of HMs into plants. However, research on the application of EPS-producing marine bacteria for soil heavy metal remediation remains limited, particularly regarding their mechanisms of HM immobilization in soil and impact on plant growth. In this study, the EPS-producing marine bacterium
