Degradation of chrysene by Rhodococcus pyridinivorans C7 isolated from earthworm gut - Deciphering microbial community dynamics of the earthworm gut

Key Points

• Chrysene degradation was effectively demonstrated, highlighting the role of Rhodococcus pyridinivorans.
• The study revealed significant interactions within the microbial community of the earthworm gut.
• Assessment using microbial community dynamics showed the potential of bioremediation in natural habitats.
• The findings suggest that understanding these microbial interactions may help in environmental cleanup efforts.
