Bacterial dispersal promotes biodegradation in heterogeneous systems exposed to osmotic stress

Bacterial dispersal promotes biodegradation in heterogeneous systems exposed to osmotic stress

Contaminant biodegradation in soils is hampered by the heterogeneous distribution of degrading communities colonizing isolated microenvironments as a result of the soil architecture. Over the last years, soil salinization was recognized as an additional problem especially in arid and semiarid ecosys...
