The influence of kerosene on microbiomes of diverse soils
The response of soil microbiomes to the kerosene pollution is uncertain. Here, we model the influence of kerosene spillage on the composition of the topsoil microbiome in different soils (Fibric Histosols, Dystric Arenosols and Albic Luvisols) in pot and field experiments with different added kerosene loads (loads up to 100 g/kg; retention time up to 360 days), measuring kerosene concentration and sequencing variable regions of 16S ribosomal RNA in the microbial communities at different time points.
