a

Hybridization signal ratios (log mean ± standard deviation from six replicates) of the naphthalene-spiked TFD soil to the control TFD soil. The hybridization signals of 40 genes were significantly different (P = 0.05), but only the genes with >3-fold difference are listed.

b

Mean ± standard deviation of six replicate Cy5 signals from treated samples.
