Degradation of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons by two strains of Pseudomonas
tThe goal of this investigation was to isolate competent polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbonsdegraders that can utilize polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons of former industrial sitesat McDoel Switchyard in Bloomington, Indiana. Using conventional enrichment methodbased on soil slurry, we isolated, screened and purified two bacterial species strains PB1 andPB2. Applying the ribotyping technique using...
