Characterization of anaerobic bacterial populations putatively involved in the degradation of Chlorine pesticides in mangrove soils of Guadeloupe (Lesser Antilles).
Due to their position at the land-sea interface and their proximity to contaminated agricultural areas, mangroves are ecosystems potentially exposed to chlordecone pollution. This study aims to describe, for the first time, the composition of bacterial communities in mangrove soils and their distribution according to chlordecone contamination. The results revealed marked inter-site heterogeneity…
