Effects of biodiversity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading consortia on system functionality and robustness

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous, toxic and recalcitrant compounds. Specific microorganisms are able to use PAHs as the sole source of carbon and energy. Soils are commonly co-contaminated by different classes of PAHs and heavy metals that require functionally-diverse and robust bioaugmentation formulations to guarantee effective in situ bioremediation. OBJECTIVES This study seeks to construct defined PAH-degrading bacterial consortia to investigate the impacts of microbial community biodiversity and niche dimensionality on the system functionality and robustness (resistance against heavy metal perturbation).
