  abstract = {{S}ediments from {B}izerta lagoon were used in an experimental microcosm setup involving three scenarios for the bioremediation of anthracene-polluted sediments, namely bioaugmentation, biostimulation, and a combination of both bioaugmentation and biostimulation. {I}n order to investigate the effect of the biotreatments on the benthic biosphere, 16{S} r{RNA} gene-based {T}-{RFLP} bacterial community structure and the abundance and diversity of the meiofauna were determined throughout the experiment period. {A}ddition of fresh anthracene drastically reduced the benthic bacterial and meiofaunal abundances. {T}he treatment combining biostimulation and bioaugmentation was most efficient in eliminating anthracene, resulting in a less toxic sedimentary environment, which restored meiofaunal abundance and diversity. {F}urthermore, canonical correspondence analysis showed that the biostimulation treatment promoted a bacterial community favorable to the development of nematodes while the treatment combining biostimulation and bioaugmentation resulted in a bacterial community that advantaged the development of the other meiofauna taxa (copepods, oligochaetes, polychaetes, and other) restoring thus the meiofaunal structure. {T}he results highlight the importance to take into account the bacteria/meiofauna interactions during the implementation of bioremediation treatment.},
