Metagenomics of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contaminated soil

Release of contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into the environment both naturally and anthropogenically, through forest fires, incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, petroleum product spills, manufacture of coke and wood preservation using creosote is a major cause of po...
