Microbial isolation and degradation of selected haloalkanoic aliphatic acids by locally isolated bacteria: A review

The liberation of halogenated compounds by both natural processes and man-made activities has led to extensive contamination of the biosphere. Bioremediation via the dehalogenation process offers a sustainable way to eliminate such hazardous contaminants. Whereas, a large number of natural soil micr...
