Microbial community structure and biodegradation activity of particle-associated bacteria in a coal tar contaminated creek.

Environmental science & technology - 1 May 2009

Debruyn Jennifer M, Sayler Gary S

Abstract excerpt

The Chattanooga Creek Superfund site (Chattanooga, TN) is one of the most polluted waterways in the southeastern U.S. with high polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations in the sediments. PAHs associate with suspended solids in the water column, and may be redeposited onto the floodplain. These suspended particles represent an interesting but understudied environment for PAH-degrading microbial...
