Unculturable polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading bacteria are a significant reservoir of the microbial potential to catabolize low-molecular-weight PAHs. The population of these bacteria is larger than the population of nah-like bacteria that are the dominant organisms in culture-based studies. We used the recently described phn genes of Burkholderia sp. strain RP007, which feature only rarely in culture-based studies, as an alternative genotype for naphthalene and phenanthrene degra ...[more]
