Characterisation of the effect of a simulated hydrocarbon spill on diazotrophs in mangrove sediment mesocosm

An analysis of the effect of an oil spill on mangrove sediments was carried out by contamination of mesocosms derived from two different mangroves, one with a history of contamination and one pristine. The association between N2 fixers and hydrocarbon degradation was assessed using quantitative PCR...
