Response of bacterial and fungal communities to high petroleum pollution in different soils

Abstract Petroleum pollution of soils is a major environmental problem. Soil microorganisms can decompose a significant fraction of petroleum hydrocarbons in soil at low concentrations (1–5%). This characteristic can be used for soil remediation after oil pollution. Microbial community dynamics and...
