Corn-Domesticated Bacteria Synergy Removes Pyrene and Enhances Crop Biomass: A Sustainable Farmland Remediation Strategy

Agriculture
High-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), such as pyrene, are persistent environmental pollutants that threaten soil health and agricultural productivity due to their resistance to degradation.
