Mycologicla potential for trichloroethylene remediation

摘要

An investigation was conducted to study the sorption behavior of TCE in clay and high orgnaic mater contianing soils.sorption of TCE was three fold higher in orgnaic matter amended loamy sand than in sandy clay loam.Bio-degradation of TCE in liquid clutures was evlauated buy using white rot fungi (P.chrysosporium and T.versicolor) through respriometric analysis.Higher biomass and 02 uptake was obsrved for P .chrysosproium than T.versicolor.In 20 days both white-rot fungi degraded 50 to 60
