The Diversity of PAH-degrading bacteria in a deep-sea water column above the Southwest Indian Ridge

The Diversity of PAH-degrading bacteria in a deep-sea water column above the Southwest Indian Ridge

The bacteria involved in organic pollutant degradation in pelagic deep-sea environments are largely unknown. In this report, the diversity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon ( PAH)-degrading bacteria was analyzed in deep-sea water on the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR). After enrichment with a PAH mix...
