Spatial Patterns of bphA Gene Diversity Reveal Local Adaptation of Microbial Communities to PCB and PAH Contaminants.

Microbial ecology - 1 Oct 2016

Hoostal Matthew J, Bouzat Juan L

Abstract excerpt

Biphenyl dioxygenases, encoded by the bphA gene, initiate the oxidation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and specify the substrate range of PCB congeners metabolized by bacteria. Increased bphA gene diversity within microbial communities may allow a broader range of PCB congeners to be catabolized, thus resulting in greater PCB degradation. To assess the role of PCBs in modulating bphA gene diversity, 16S...
