A Comparison of the Microbial Community and Functional Genes Present in Free-Living and Soil Particle-Attached Bacteria from an Aerobic Bioslurry Reactor Treating High-Molecular-Weight PAHs

High-molecular-weight (HMW) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminate a wide range of ecosystems, including soils, groundwater, rivers and harbor sediments. The effective removal of HMW PAHs is a difficult challenge if a rapid remediation time and low economic cost are required. Bioremedia...
