| degradation of pahs in soil by lasiodiplodia theobromae and enhanced benzo[a]pyrene degradation by the addition of tween-80. | benzo[a]pyrene (bap), a five-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (pah), which has carcinogenic potency, is highly recalcitrant and resistant to microbial degradation. a novel fungus, lasiodiplodia theobromae (l. theobromae), which can degrade bap as a sole carbon source in liquid, was isolated in our laboratory. to prompt the further application of l. theobromae in remediation of sites polluted by bap and other pahs, the present study was targeted toward the removal of bap and pahs from soil by ... | 2014 | 24878554 |
