sp. CIB, an Anaerobic Biodegrader of Aromatic Compounds Shows an Endophytic Lifestyle

genus comprises bacteria that fit into one of two major eco-physiological groups, either free-living anaerobic biodegraders of aromatic compounds or obligate endophytes unable to degrade aromatics under anaerobic conditions, is revisited here. sp. CIB, locate into different evolutionary branches. sp. CIB becomes a suitable candidate for a more sustainable agricultural practice and phytoremediation technology
