What is it about?
This research highlights the use of chicken droppings as a biostimulant to enhance soil recovery from severe hydrocarbon contamination. Metagenomic techniques were employed to investigate bacterial–hydrocarbon interaction patterns over a three-month bioremediation period.

Why is it important?
This research is significant not only for demonstrating the interactions between bacteria and hydrocarbon pollutants but also for showcasing how chicken waste can be sustainably valorised to support land restoration.
Perspectives
Future research can build upon the methodologies employed in this study and explore opportunities for collaboration with its authors.
