Bioaugmentation with Arthrobacter sp. strain DAT1 for remediation of heavily atrazine-contaminated soil

TL;DR: Continuous increase in the number of trzN, atzB and atzC genes and the relative abundance of the strain DAT1 was observed during the bioaugmentation process and might provide some new insights toward bioremediation of heavily atrazine-contaminated soil.
