Abstract excerpt
A bacterium isolated from a polluted stream, capable of metabolizing biphenyl, naphthalene, phenanthrene, and higher-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (D. Gibson, V. Mahadevan, D. Jerina, H. Yagi, and H. Yeh, Science 189:295-297, 1975), was previously identified as Beijerinckia sp...
