Abstract excerpt
The phenotypic and genotypic adaptation of a freshwater sedimentary microbial community to elevated (22 to 217 microgram [dry weight] of sediment-1) levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was determined by using an integrated biomolecular approach. Central to the approach was the use of phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) profiles to characterize the microbial community structure and nucleic acid analysis...
