Gene probing reveals the widespread distribution, diversity and abundance of isoprene-degrading bacteria in the environment

Abstract Background Approximately 500 Tg of isoprene are emitted to the atmosphere annually, an amount similar to that of methane, and despite its significant effects on the climate, very little is known about the biological degradation of isoprene in the environment. Isolation and characterisation...
