Plant-enhanced phenanthrene and pyrene biodegradation in acidic soil
A study was undertaken to assess if com plant (Zea may L.) maybe able to enhance the degradation of phenanthrene and pyrene in acidic soil inoculated with a bacterial strain (Pseudomonas putida MUB1) capable of degrading polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Planting with corn, inoculating with M...
