| natural microbial diversity in superficial sediments of milazzo harbor (sicily) and community successions during microcosm enrichment with various hydrocarbons. | hydrocarbon-contaminated superficial sediments collected from the harbor of milazzo (tirrenean sea, northern sicily), a zone strongly affected by anthropogenic activities, were examined for in situ biodegradative capacities. a culture-independent molecular phylogenetic approach was used to study the influence of hydrocarbon and nutrient addition on the activity and diversity of the indigenous microbiota during a microcosm evaluation. the autochthonous microbial community in non-polluted sediment ... | 2005 | 16104865 |
