| anaerobic biodegradation of btex by original bacterial communities from an underground gas storage aquifer. | btex biodegradation by an indigenous deep subsurface microbial community was evaluated in a water sample collected in the area of an underground gas storage. five different sulfate-reducing microbial communities able to use at least either benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, or xylene (btex) compounds were studied. a total of 21 different bacterial phylotypes were identified, each community containing three to nine bacterial phylotypes. archaeal phylotypes were retrieved from only three communities. ... | 2010 | 20380433 |
