If there was ultimately a further relevant publication by Salen-Picard it's
slipped my net. No guarantees with these below, but worth a look see.

Capitella sp. I on microbial activity in an organic-rich marine sediment
contaminated with the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon fluoranthene.
Marine Biology 128:679-688.
