Petrochemical wastewater is a major industrial source of pollution that produces a variety of
refractory and toxic organic pollutants that are detrimental to animals and plants in natural …

Heavy metals (HMs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have become a major
concern to human health and the environment due to rapid industrialization and …

Detrimental salt stress effects on crops are likely to increase due to climate change reducing
the quality of irrigation water. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) can mitigate …

Root exudates can stimulate microbial degradation within the rhizosphere, but their exact
roles are embedded within the complicated rhizospheric effects. In the present study, we …

Ciprofloxacin is a broad spectral and highly refractory antibiotic. It is an emerging pollutant.
This study aimed to utilise co-metabolism as a means to degrade ciprofloxacin by a bacterial …
