Comprehensive whole metagenomics analysis uncovers microbial community and resistome variability across anthropogenically contaminated soils in urban and suburban areas of Tamil Nadu, India

This study establishes a clear link between environmental pollution, microbial adaptations, and functional resilience, emphasizing the ecological significance of microbial bio-remediation in shaping targeted remediation strategies and long-term ecological recovery. Understanding these microbial interactions is essential for developing targeted remediation techniques and assessing long-term ecological recovery in contaminated regions.
