Biodegradation of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by bacteria.
TLDR
Interest in the biodegradation mechanisms and environmental fate of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is prompted by their ubiquitous distribution and their potentially deleterious effects on human health.Abstract:
Interest in the biodegradation mechanisms and environmental fate of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is prompted by their ubiquitous distribution and their potentially deleterious effects on human health. PAHs constitute a large and diverse class of organic compounds and are generallyread more
