The ultrastructure of exocrine pancreatic neoplasms occurring in the mummichog, Fundulus heteroclitus, from a creosote-contaminated site in the Elizabeth River, Virginia, is described and related to nonneoplastic exocrine pancreas. Normal mummichog pancreas was an anastomosing tubular gland, with
Two strains of bacteria were isolated from creosote-contaminated Puget Sound sediment based on their ability to utilize naphthalene as a sole carbon and energy source. When incubated with a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compound in artificial seawater, each strain also degraded
One strain of bacteria, designated NCE312, was isolated from a naphthalene-digesting chemostat culture that was inoculated with creosote-contaminated marine sediment. The strain was isolated based on its ability to grow using naphthalene as a sole carbon source. In addition, the strain degraded
