| numerical taxonomy of phenanthrene-degrading bacteria isolated from the chesapeake bay. | phenanthrene-degrading bacteria were isolated from chesapeake bay samples by the use of a solid medium which had been overlaid with an ethanol solution of phenanthrene before inoculation. eighteen representative strains of phenanthrene-degrading bacteria with 21 type and reference bacteria were examined for 123 characteristics representing physiological, biochemical, and nutritional properties. relationships between strains were computed with several similarity coefficients. the phenogram constr ... | 1984 | 6508314 |
