Degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by the chilean white-rot fungus anthracophyllum discolor
Francisca Acevedo,Leticia Pizzul,Maria del Pilar Castillo,Raphael Cuevas,María Cristina Diez +4 more
TL;DR: The degradation of three- and four-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by Anthracophyllum discolor, a white-rot fungus isolated from the forest of southern Chile, was evaluated, suggesting synergistic effects between PAHs or possible cometabolism.

Degradation of glyphosate and other pesticides by ligninolytic enzymes.
TL;DR: The results highlight the potential of ligninolytic enzymes to degrade pesticides and suggest that the formation of AMPA, the main metabolite of glyphosate degradation found in soils, can be a result of the activity oflignin-degrading enzymes.

Characterization of selected actinomycetes degrading polyaromatic hydrocarbons in liquid culture and spiked soil
TL;DR: In this paper, five strains of the Rhodococcus and Gordonia genera were evaluated for their potential use in bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) with or without another substrate (co-substrate).

Degradation of PAH in a Creosote-Contaminated Soil. A Comparison Between the Effects of Willows (Salix Viminalis), Wheat Straw and A Nonionic Surfactant
TL;DR: The presence of S. viminalis or the surfactant enhanced PAH degradation, primarily by a rhizosphere effect on the microbial activity in the former case and by increased bioavailability in the latter case.

Effect of rapeseed oil on the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soil by Rhodococcus wratislaviensis
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of rapeseed oil (0, 0.1 and 1% w/w) on the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) by Rhodococcus wratislaviensis was studied in soils artificially contaminated with phenanthrene, anthracene, pyrene and benzo(a)pyrene.
