General description

Phenanthrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) which consists of three benzene rings that are prepared by Bardhan-Sengupta phenanthrene synthesis. Its properties include low volatility, high toxicity and resistance to microbial biodegradation.

Efficient bioremediation of PAH-contaminated sites is limited by the hydrophobic character and poor bioavailability of pollutants. In this study, stable isotope probing (SIP) was implemented to track bacteria that can degrade PAHs adsorbed on hydrophobic sorbents. Temperate and tropical soils
