Abstract excerpt
In order to study microbial diversity in a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-impacted soil, 14 bacterial strains were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis. Bacterial strains isolated from two different hydrocarbon-polluted sites were identi...
