Excessive application of the herbicide chlorimuron-ethyl (CE) severely harms subsequent crops and poses severe risks to environmental health. Therefore, methods for efficiently decreasing and eliminating CE residues are urgently needed. Microbial consortia show potential for bioremediation due to th...
