Metataxonomic analyses reveal differences in aquifer bacterial community as a function of creosote contamination and its potential for contaminant remediation

Abstract Metataxonomic approach was used to describe the bacterial community from a creosote-contaminated aquifer and to access the potential for in situ bioremediation of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by biostimulation. In general, the wells with higher PAH contamination had lower ric...
