Biodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyls and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in contaminated marine sediments. Final report, 1 April 1991-30 September 1994

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:218060
Determine the ability of naturally occurring microorganisms in marine sediments to metabolize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Enrich, isolate, and characterize the microbial species in marine sediment consortia that metabolize these compounds. Determine the ability of anaerobic sediment enrichments to transform PCBs under methanogenic and sulfidogenic conditions.
