Abstract
- The article focuses on a study which reveals that trees with a probiotic boost can clean up a carcinogen. It mentions symbiotic bacteria help poplars strip trichloroethylene (TCE) from groundwater. It also mentions that poplar trees boosted by bacteria within their tissues brought groundwater concentrations of TCE to below the maximum contaminant level for drinking water set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
