Degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHS)by a bacterial consortium enriched from mangrove sediments

Degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHS)by a bacterial consortium enriched from mangrove sediments - Environment International, 31(2), p.149-154, 2005 .

The biodegradability of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)mixture consisted of fluorene (Fl), phenanthrene (Phe)and pyrene (Pyr)by a bacterial consortium enriched from mangrove sediments under sediment-free and sediment slurry conditions was investigated. The enriched consortium made up of three bacterial strains, namely Rhodococcus sp., Acinetobacter sp. and Pseudomonas sp., had a good PAH degradation capability with 100
