Adaptive Evolution of Sphingobium hydrophobicum C1T in Electronic Waste Contaminated River Sediment

Adaptive Evolution of Sphingobium hydrophobicum C1T in Electronic Waste Contaminated River Sediment

Electronic waste (e-waste) has caused a severe worldwide pollution problem. Despite increasing isolation of degradative microorganisms from e-waste contaminated environments, the mechanisms underlying their adaptive evolution in such habitats remain unclear. Sphingomonads generally have xenobiotic-d...
