TL;DR: This review describes some generally accepted bioremediation tools and subsequently focuses on the combination of two approaches, phytoremediations and bioaugmentation, resulting in rhizore mediation, a more efficient degradation of pollutants.

TL;DR: Experiments show that chemotaxis is an important competitive colonization trait for competitive tomato root-tip colonization by Pseudomonas fluorescens and suggested that malic acid and citric acid are among major chemo-attractants for P. fluorescenceens WCS365 cells in the tomato rhizosphere.

TL;DR: Using purified putisolvin I and II it was shown that biofilm formation of different Pseudomonas strains was inhibited and most interestingly, that both putisolvins are also able to break down existing PseUDomonas biofilms.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the principle described here, to select a bacterium which combines efficient root colonization with a beneficial activity, can be used to improve the selection of other more efficient plant-bacterium pairs for beneficial purposes such as biocontrol, biofertilization, and phytostimulation.

TL;DR: Results show an excellent correlation between successful naphthalene rhizoremediation by the Barmultra-P.
