Reducing Phenanthrene Contamination in Trifolium repens L. With Root-Associated Phenanthrene-Degrading Bacterium Diaphorobacter sp. Phe15

Some root-associated bacteria could degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in contaminated soil; however, their dynamic distribution and performance on root surface and in inner plant tissues are still unclear. In this study, greenhouse container experiments were conducted by inoculating th...
