Microbial communities comprise an interwoven matrix of biological diversity modified by
physical and chemical variation over space and time. Although these communities are the …

The goal of phytoremediation is to use plants to immobilize, extract or degrade organic and
inorganic pollutants. In the case of organic contaminants, plants essentially act indirectly …

The use of genetically modified or native microorganisms and plants to degrade or remove
pollutants has emerged as a powerful technology for in situ remediation. An understanding …

The activities of indigenous bacterial communities in polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
contaminated environments is closely related to the efficiency of bioremediation processes …

Interactions between plants and microbes are an integral part of our terrestrial ecosystem.
Microbe–plant interactions are being applied in many areas. In this review, we present …

The aim of the study was to determine the impact of sewage sludge from three wastewater
treatment plants of different sizes (small, medium and large) applied in two doses (3 and 9 …

Motility is one of the most important traits for efficient rhizosphere colonization by
Pseudomonas fluorescens F113rif (F113). In this bacterium, motility is a polygenic trait that is …

Phytoremediation is an important process that uses plants, green vegetation, trees, aquatic
