Evidence for novel polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon degradation pathways in culturable marine isolates

ABSTRACT Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are common toxic and carcinogenic pollutants in marine ecosystems. Despite their prevalence in these habitats, relatively little is known about the natural microflora and biochemical pathways that contribute to their degradation. Approaches to investi...
