ResumoABSTRACT We analyzed the occurrence of the naphthalene degradation upper-pathway ( nah ) genes in the western Mediterranean region. The amplification, restriction, and sequence analysis of internal fragments for several nah genes ( nahAc , nahB , nahC , and nahE ) from naphthalene-degrading strains isolated from this geographical area proved the coexistence of two distinct sets of nah genes.
