Abstract
During investigation of biodegradation in soil, we have found that classical or standard techniques for introduction of compounds and the growth of fungus into soil are ill-defined and inadequate. In response to this deficiency, a method for controlled introduction of extractable compounds and for the growth of fungus in soils has been developed. This method was successfully used to study the degradation of fluorene in soil by the fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
