REMEDIATION EFFECTS AND MECHANISMS OF SUBMERGED MACROPHYTE VALLISNERIA NATANS IN POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS CONTAMINATED SEDIMENT

This study analyzed microbial community in sediments (with or without V. natans) and different niches of V. natans, aiming to explore interactions among V. natans, microorganisms and environmental factors. Through these works, this study contributes to understand the mechanism of PAHs degradation in sediment-V. natans continuum and set up novel decontamination strategies based on rhizodegradation between V. natans and microbial community.
