Understanding of rhizospheric Cymbopogon citratus-Saphylococcus succinus interactions for phytoremediation of dibenzofuran contaminated soil

Dioxins or dioxin-like compounds is a group of chloroaromatic compounds which is a highly persistent chemical and accumulates in the environment as well as increasing their distribution in our ecosystem.
