Periodic Reporting for period 1 - PrOBiEM (Characterization of the anaerobic degradation of phenanthrene by a novel sulfate-reducing enrichment culture for the development of bioremediation methods)

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of contaminants mainly derived from natural gas and petroleum. Due to their stable ring structures, poor water solubility and chemical stability, these contaminants are difficult to degrade and persist for long time in the...
