Biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by microbial consortia enriched from mangrove sediments

Surface sediments from two mangrove swamps in Hong Kong were enriched to obtain PAH-degrading microbial consortia. The consortium from sediments enriched with phenanthrene (Phe) in Ma Wan, a mangrove swamp next to a boat anchorage, was effective in degrading PAH with 96.7% and 89.9% Phe degradation...
