[ 1 ] - Isolation and Identification of Phenanthrene-degrading Bacteria and Increasing the Biodegrading Ability by Synergistic Relationship
Background: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a large group of oil contaminants with carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects. The release of these compounds in soil destroys animals, plants and microbial diversity and has several negative impacts on physical properties of the soil including the destruction of soil aggregates reduction in pores, and increase in soil bulk density....
[ 2 ] - Optimization of Phenanthrene-degradation by Dietzia Cinnamea AP for Bioremediation Applications
Background: This study focused on isolation and identification of a Phenanthrene (Phe) degrader bacterium and optimization of environmental conditions for Phe degradation. Materials and Methods: Enrichment technique was used for isolation and the most effective isolate; named AP was selected based on its Phe biodegradation abilities. The isolate was identified using morphological and biochem...
