Abstract excerpt
Sixty-one strains of bacteria capable of growth on 4-methyl benzoic acid (29 isolates) or naphthalene (32 isolates) as the sole source of carbon and energy were isolated from sediments and water samples from the River Tyne, UK. Random amplification of polymorphic DNA from genomic DNA extracted fr...
