What is it about?
Worldwide, PAHs soil pollution is a major concern in both industrialized and developing countries. in such soils, widespread bacteria exist that survive such harsh environments. Among them are the sphingomonads, a group of remarkably versatile microbes known for remediating ployaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Strategies employed by microbes like sphingomonads in bioremediation of PAHs like phenanthrene in contaminated sites

Why is it important?
Our review article shows that the strategies undertaken by sphingomonads in soil remediation. Thus, we hope that these mechanisms will be greatly appreciated by scientists in dealing with general or environmental microbiology.
