Role of environmental fluctuations and microbial diversity in degradation of hydrocarbons in contaminated sludge.

Résumé

Little is known about microbial communities involved in hydrocarbon degradation, whether it be their structural and functional diversity or their response to environmental constraints such as oxygen fluctuation. Here, current knowledge of the impact of diversity and redox oscillations upon ecosystem processes is reviewed. In addition, we present the main conclusions of our studies in this field. Oxic/anoxic oscillations had a strong impact upon bacterial community structures, influencing their ability to degrade hydrocarbons and their capacity to reduce hydrocarbon toxicity. Furthermore, a decrease in functional diversity has a strong impact on pollutant degradation.
