Abstract
Indole and its derivatives, including 3‐methylindole and 4‐chloroindole, are environmental pollutants that are present worldwide. Microbial degradation of indole and its derivatives can occur in several aerobic and anaerobic pathways; these pathways involve different known and characterized genes. In this minireview, we summarize and explain the microbial degradation of indole, indole‐3‐acetic acid, 4‐chloroindole, and methylindole.Keywords
