Biodegradation of Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbonsin Contaminated Marine Sediments

摘要

Determine the ability of naturally occurring microorganisms in marine sedimentsto metabolize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Enrich, isolate, and characterize the microbial species in marine sediment consortia that metabolize these compounds. Determine the ability of anaerobic sediment enrichments to transform PCBs under methanogenic and sulfidogenic conditions. jg p.2.
