•Microbial isoprene degradation varied by plant species and season in tropical soils.•Rhodococcus and Gordonia isolates showed 50.3 % to 69.1 % isoprene degradation.•Isoprene monooxygenase genes were found in Rhodococcus and Gordonia. Isoprene, a biogenic volatile compound emitted largely by plants,...
