The rate of mineralization was slightly faster at PCP concentrations of 10 and 50
mg / kg , while 500 mg / kg PCP was not mineralized . Inoculation of the
Flavobacterium sp . to industrially contaminated soil was less effective . Four

As in soil treatment with Phanerochaete chrysosporium , a drawback with fungal
technologies is that the mechanism of chlorophenol degradation is poorly
understood and frequently does not result in complete mineralization . It is
interesting to ...
