Discovery of functional gene markers of bacteria for monitoring hydrocarbon pollution in the marine environment - a metatranscriptomics approach
K. Knapik, A. Bagi, A. Krolicka, T. Baussant
This study uses metatranscriptomics to identify functional gene markers in marine bacteria that respond to hydrocarbon pollution, but finds that natural organic matter can interfere with detecting oil-related gene expression.
