Metagenomics of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contaminated soil
Release of contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into the environment both naturally and anthropogenically, through forest fires, incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, petroleum product spills, manufacture of coke and wood preservation using creosote is a major cause of po...

| description | Release of contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into
the environment both naturally and anthropogenically, through forest fires,
incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, petroleum product spills, manufacture of
coke and wood preservation using creosote is a major cause of pollution. PAHs
are not only a threat to the environment but some of the compounds are also
mutagenic and carcinogenic to humans. Bioremediation has great potential to
clean up PAH contaminated sites, provided that both the physico-chemical
characteristics of the contaminated site and the microbial communities involved
in key physiological processes are fully understood. The aim of this study was to
analyse genetic material of the entire microbial community present in PAH
contaminated soil using a metagenomic approach. |
