Resumen:
Background Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), widespread pollutants in the marine environment, can produce adverse effects to marine organisms and can transfer to humans through seafood. Our knowledge of PAH-degrading bacterial populations in the marine environment is still very limited, and mainly originated from cultured bacteria. In this study, genes coding catabolic enzymes from PAH-biodegradation pathways were used as targets for the characterization of these microbial populations in coastal sediments of Patagonia.
