Upon addition of phenanthrene, species of these two genera were found in the enrichment cultures as well as among the isolated strains. The isolated bacteria were tested for phenanthrene degradation, but only Pseudomonas xanthomarina, either as single culture or in a consortium, showed this capability. Here we show that in aged contaminated soils some members of the bacterial community are active in biodegradation processes, can be easily isolated, and may result appropriated for bioremediation uses.
