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 o...
