Abstract
Microbiological studies coupled with physiochemical analysis of environmentally significant xenobiotics were conducted in continuous flowthrough and carbon metabolism microcosms to determine the behavior of these toxic substances in soil and sediment-water systems typical of coastal wetlands. The organophosphate, 14C-methyl parathion, and the chlorinated insecticide, 14C-kepone, were examined for stress indexes based on microbial response and compound turnover.
