Plant-assisted bioremediation of perchlorate and the effect of plants on redox conditions and biodiversity in low and high organic carbon soil
Perchlorate is a known inhibitor of the human thyroid gland. Perchlorate is destroyed by ubiquitous perchlorate-reducing bacteria. The bacteria often lack sufficient electron donor. Research was undertaken to evaluate the relationship between plants and perchlorate-reducing bacteria. To what degree...
