Abstract
⺠E. ludwigii strains efficiently colonized plants in a non-sterile soil environment. ⺠E. ludwigii strains efficiently expressed alkane degradation genes in plants. ⺠E. ludwigii efficiently degraded alkane contaminations and promoted plant growth. ⺠E. ludwigii interacted more effectively with Italian ryegrass than with other plants. ⺠Degradation activity varied with plant and microbial genotype as well as with time.
