Comprehensive genomic analysis of a novel <i>Bacillus cereus</i> decomposing toluene potentially applicable in bioremediation
The purpose of the present study was to develop a feasible process for the treatment of heavily contaminated Mahshahr petrochemical effluent. Since regular treatment of this effluent was inefficient, isolation of an indigenous bacterium with the ability to decompose toluene (the main pollutant of the effluent) and use it as a biological material to treat wastewater containing aromatic compounds on an industrial scale was very important.
