Distinct Bacterial Consortia Established in ETBE-Degrading Enrichments from a Polluted Aquifer

Distinct Bacterial Consortia Established in ETBE-Degrading Enrichments from a Polluted Aquifer

Ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) is a gasoline additive that became an important aquifer pollutant. The information about natural bacterial consortia with a capacity for complete ETBE degradation is limited. Here we assess the taxonomical composition of bacterial communities and diversity of the <i&...
