Mechanisms of survival against desiccation and associated stresses of the soil-residing actinomycete Rhodococcus jostii strain RHA1

Actinomycetes are an abundant bacterial group in soil, with a critical role in the decomposition of organic matter. Rhodococcus jostii strain RHA1 is of particular interest to the field of bioremediation because it can degrade a broad range of organic compounds, both natural and xenobiotic. Unders...
