Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas fluorescens strain LP6a, isolated from petroleum condensate-contaminated soil, utilizes the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene and 2-methylnaphthalene as sole carbon and energy sources. The isolate also co-metabolically transforms a suite of PAHs and heterocycles including fluorene, biphenyl, acenaphthene, 1-methylnaphthalene, indole, benzothiophene,...
