The relationship between plants and their root-associated microbial communities in hydrocarbon phytoremediation systems
Phytoremediation systems for petroleum hydrocarbons rely on a synergistic relationship between plants and their root-associated microbial communities. Plants exude organic compounds through their roots, which increase the density, diversity and activity of plant-associated microorganisms, which in t...
