| Title | Composting of Explosives Contaminated Soil Using the White Rot Fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium |
| Creator | McFarland, Michael J. Kalaskar, Shashi Baiden, Eric |
| Description | Bioaugmentation using the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium was found to be effective in enhancing TNT removal in lightly (i.e., below 100 mg/kg) contaminated soil. The percent reduction in TNT increased from 15% to 53% when soils were treated with fungal inoculated organic material. Maximum removal rates improved from 0.33 mg TNT/kg-day to 0.76 mg TNT/kg-day during the same treatment. Neither fungal inoculation nor organic amendment addition resulted in improving TNT removal... |
