Dynamics of bacterial communities in two unpolluted soils after spiking with phenanthrene: soil type specific and common responders

Considering their key role for ecosystem processes, it is important to understand the response of microbial communities in unpolluted soils to pollution with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Phenanthrene, a model compound for PAH, was spiked to a Cambisol and a Luvisol soil. Total community D...
