Contaminants wash into estuaries where they bind to fine particles and become stored in the sediment. This sink of contaminants poses a threat to organisms during sediment resuspension.

    CORE SEDIMENT BACTERIA DRIVE COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO ANTHROPOGENIC CONTAMINATION OVER MULTIPLE ENVIRONMENTAL GRADIENTS

     

    Sun, M. Y., Dafforn, K. A., Johnston, E. L., & Brown, M. V. (2013).

    Environmental microbiology, 15(9), 2517-2531.

     

    454 pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was used to investigate sediment bacterial community response to contaminant disturbance across six estuaries with differing levels of 'modification'...

    BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES ARE SENSITIVE INDICATORS OF CONTAMINANT STRESS
