Metagenomic analysis of rhizosphere microflora of oil-contaminated soil planted with barley and alfalfa.

The role of rhizosphere microbial communities in the degradation of hydrocarbons remains poorly understood and is a field of active study. We used high throughput sequencing to explore the rhizosphere microbial diversity in the alfalfa and barley planted oil contaminated soil samples. The analysis o...
