Influence of compost amendments on the diversity of alkane degrading bacteria in hydrocarbon contaminated soils
Alkane degrading microorganisms play an important role for bioremediation of petrogenic contaminated environments. In this study, we investigated the effects of compost addition on the diversity of alkane monooxygenase gene (alkB) harboring bacteria in oil-contaminated soil originated from an indust...
