The abundance and distribution of microorganisms and their potential for mineralizing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were measured in subsurface sediment samples at two geographically separate buried coal-tar sites. At a relatively undisturbed forested site in the northeastern United States
The hypothesis suggested in this paper is an attempt to explain a discrepancy between in vivo and in vitro polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)-carcinogenesis experiments, described frequently in the literature. Whereas, in pretreated animals, a higher level of induced PAH-metabolizing enzymes red
