Bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil using indigenous hydrocarbon degrading fungi

Hazardous pollutants such as Polycylic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) which can be found in motor oil, have strained public concerns as PAHs are toxic, mutagenic and also carcinogenic. Bioremediation has been the best option for converting these hazardous pollutants into less hazardous compounds by ut...
