Organic Contaminant Mixture Significantly Changes Microbenthic Community Structure and Increases the Expression of PAH Degradation Genes

Studying the effects of chemical contaminants on the structure and function of microbial and meiofauna communities have traditionally focused on specific effects of single contaminants on single species. This has left the complex interactions between mixtures of contaminants and its non-specific tox...
