Figure 5

q-PCR analyses of 16S rRNA , bph and C230 abundances in myco-augmented microcosms and respective controls. Semi-logarithmic plots of time dependent changes in the relative amount of 16S rRNA (A) bph (B), C230 (C) qPCR-amplified genes in the incubation control and Lentinus tigrinus microcosms in the absence (i.e., ICM and Lt M respectively) and in the presence of 2.5% (w/w) soybean oil (i.e., ICSOM and Lt SOM). Data are expressed as fold with respect to the relative zero time-point (please, see Materials and Methods).
