Title: Molecular and biochemical determinants for polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon biodegradation in the manufactured gas plant soils. Final report, September 1991-June 1992

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:147481

This research was conducted to further the development of new DNA gene probe(s) for quantifying polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) catabolic bacteria from MGP contaminated soils, and to investigate the use of bioluminescent reporter technology for measuring higher molecular weight PAH(s) degradation, and to examine the role of the naphthalene degradative pathway in degradation of other higher PAHs.
