Pentachlorophenol-contaminated soil bioremediation: survival and efficacy of monoculture inoculants and enrichment of indigenous catabolic populations
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: A. D.K. McBain --- Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology, United Kingdom M.S. Salkinoja-Salonen --- Department of Applied Chemistry and Microbiology, Finland E. Senior --- , South Africa C.A. du Plessis --- Department of Microbiology and Biochemistry, South Africa A. Paterson --- Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology, United Kingdom I.A. Watson-Craik --- Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology, United KingdomSurvival and efficacy of monoculture inoculants of Flavobaderium sp. and Rhodococcus chlorophenolicus to bioremediate PCP-contaminated soil were examined under sterile and non-sterile conditions. Both species effected ≥ 40% catabolism in four weeks although inoculant survival was significantly higher with R...
