Petroleum is the major energy matrix in world whose refining generates chemical byproducts that may damage environment. Among such waste, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are considered persistent pollutants. Sixteen of these priority for remediation, and among them benzo(a)pyrene. Amid remediation techniques, bioremediation stands out. The genus Burkholderia amongst microorganisms known being capable degrading compounds; its strains used as models to study ability. High-throughput...
ABSTRACT The main goal of this study was to test the effect presence nesting waterbirds on taxonomic structure (richness, abundance and composition) macroinvertebrate communities in southern Brazilian wetlands. Macroinvertebrate were seasonally sampled eight intermittent wetlands differing according occurrence colonies (four with rookeries; four without). influence nutrients water sediment physicochemical variables also assessed. community aquatic macroinvertebrates not affected by...
