Employing the power of DNA-based microbial community structure analysis for the rational design of hydrocarbon contaminated soil remediation

The impact of activated carbon (AC) amendments on the biodegradation of crude oil in soil was studied in batch microcosms. AC amendment slowed down biodegradation and removal of hydrocarbon pollutants and was more evident when AC when added from the beginning compared to after 5 months. The microbia...
