A Desert-Adapted Pseudomonas Strain for Pyrene Biodegradation in Rajasthan
This investigation explains the isolation and characterization of a Pseudomonas strain that can break down the high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pyrene from petroleumcontaminated soil in Rajasthan's Thar desert. The isolate achieved approximately 40% degradation of pyrene by day 7 and 55% by d...
