Indigenous PAH-Degrading Bacteria in Oil-Polluted Marine Sediments from Patagonia: Diversity and Biotechnological Proper
The diversity of indigenous bacteria recovered from polluted sediment samples from several coasts of Patagonia is described in this chapter. Selective enrichment cultures supplemented with naphthalene, phenanthrene, and pyrene allowed isolation of bacteri

Preface
Patagonia is a vast and heterogeneous territory that extends along the southernmost part of the Americas (approximately from 40°S to 56°S). This region occupies part of Chilean and Argentinean territories. Argentinean Patagonia, in which this book is focused, extends east of the Andes and south of the Colorado River, having an area of about 790,000 km2. This region includes large extents of arid plains, forests, mountains and glaciers, fertile valleys, and wide seashores. These ecosystems offer a great diversity of selective environments scarcely explored that are suitable for the bioprospection of biotechnologically relevant microorganisms. The aim of Biology and Biotechnology of Patagonian Microorganisms is to provide readers from the academic and biotechnological communities with a concise and clearly illustrated trea
