These communities were grown on seven polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds. Six isolates (MAM - 26, 29, 43, 62, 68, 78) were able to grow on different concentrations of five chosen PAHs. The best degraders bacterial isolates MAM - 29 and MAM - 62 were identified by 16S - rRNA UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
