Microbial degradation of aromatic hydrocarbon: Naphthalene through Nocardiopsis alba RD3

Microorganisms play a vital role incleaning up the environment by degrading the pollutants like monoaromatics andpolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) which are toxic andare among the most prevalent and persistent pollutants inthe environment. Soil contaminated with petroleum generally contains a mixtureof polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic aromatics.
