Abstract
ABSTRACT
We analyzed the occurrence of the naphthalene degradation upper-pathway (
nah
) genes in the western Mediterranean region. The amplification, restriction, and sequence analysis of internal fragments for several
nah
genes (
nahAc
,
nahB
,
nahC
, and
nahE
) from naphthalene-degrading strains isolated from this geographical area proved the coexistence of two distinct sets of
nah
genes.
