Phenanthrene-metabolizing soil microbial communities were characterized by evaluating mineralization of [14C]phenanthrene, by most-probable-number (MPN) keeping track of, by 16S-23S spacer DNA analysis from the dominant numerically, culturable phenanthrene-degrading isolates, and by evaluating incorporation of [13C]phenanthrene-derived carbon into sterols and polar lipid essential fatty acids (PLFAs). guide strains. The 13C-PLFA information of phenanthrene degraders in the… Continue reading Phenanthrene-metabolizing soil microbial communities were characterized by evaluating mineralization of [14C]phenanthrene,
