Surfactant enhancement of white-rot fungal PAH soil remediation

摘要

Five surfactants were examined for their ability to enhance PAH removal from soils inoculated with Pleurotus ostreatus (which performed best in a preliminary screening of six white-rot fungi). In general, non-ionic alkylethoxylate surfactants gave the best results. In soil from a coking facility, PAH removal in 30-day cultures of P.ostreatus increased from 23
