Activation of an indigenous microbial consortium for bioaugmentation of soil contaminated with wood-preservation compounds

摘要

The concept of activated soil is based on the cultivation of selected biomass from a fraction of contaminated soil in bioreactors. A pentachlorophenol (PCP) based wood-preserving mixture (WPM) was used as substrate for soil activation in order to acclimate the microbial flora to several contaminants. Experiments were conducted in two 8 liter fed-batch 10
