Soil Biol Biochem 1994, 26:377-385. Demonstrates the influence of several operating parameters on the success of PCP degradation by R. chlorophenolicus. Degradation rates increased with increasing PCP concentrations and microbial numbers; bioavailability and soil humidity also played a role. The bacterium performed poorly in saturated soils, although little difference in degradation rate was observed between 50% and 80% ol field capacity. A high level of organic matter (peat) apparently reduced the PCP bioavailability.

Soil Biol Biochem 1994, 26:1603-1611. A good example of small-scale field application of bioaugmentation, with controls to establish the real benefits of the addition of microorganisms. Application of the fungus Phanerochaete sordida to PCP-contaminated and PAH-contaminated soil resulted in a relative increase in compound biodegradation relative to controls. Three-ring PAHs were degraded further in non-treated soil, whereas four-ring PAHs were degraded further in fungus-treated soil. Five-ring and six-ring PAHs were not significantly reduced.
