Top-down/bottom-up consortia achieve robust γ-HCH degradation and reduced methanogenic contribution in wetlands
ABSTRACT Generalist non-obligate organochlorine-degrading bacteria (ODB) play an important role in the bioremediation of γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH), yet their ecological roles and functional mechanisms remain underexplored. In this study, we used both “top-down” and “bottom-up” strategies to construct two function...
