A microbial consortium (AM) obtained by sequential enrichment in liquid culture with a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) mixture of three- and four-ringed PAHs as a sole Source of carbon and energy was examined using a triple-approach method based on various cultivation strategies, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), and the screening of 16S and 18S rRNA gene clone libraries. Eleven different sequences by culture-dependent techniques and seven by both DGGE and clone libraries were obtained. The comparison of three variable regions (V3-V5) of the 16S rRNA gene between the sequences obtained yielded 19 different microbial components. Proteobacteria were the dominant group, representing 83% of the total, while the Cytophaga-Flexibacter-Bacteroides group (CFB) was 11% and the Ascomycota fungi 6% beta-Proteobacteria were predominant in the DGGE and clone library methods, whereas they were a minority in culturable strains. The highest diversity and number of noncoincident sequences were achieved by the cultivation method that showed members of the alpha-, beta-, and gamma-Proteobacteria, CFB bacterial group; and Ascon mycota fungi. Only six of the 11 strains isolated showed PAH-degrading capability. The bacterial strain (AMS7) and the fungal strain (AMF1), which were similar to Sphingomonas sp. and Fusarium sp., respectively, achieved the greatest PAH depletion. The results indicate that polyphasic assessment is necessary for a proper understanding of the composition of a microbial consortium.
