  • Title: [Microbiological degradation of benz(a)pyrene in soil].
    Author: Kireev GV, Tatarskiĭ BP, Gevorgian AM, Asrarov A.
    Journal: Gig Sanit; 2005; (2):32-4. PubMed ID: 15915896.
    Abstract:
    Several microbial clones that could grow on the benz(a)pyrene medium were identified from the soils contaminated with petroleum products. It was shown that benz(a)pyrene could be degraded by the obtained cultures that selectively utilized the carcinogenic molecules of benz(a)pyrene in the presence of other sources of carbohydrate. The authors give recommendations on the biodestruction of benz(a)pyrene and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons under natural conditions in order to improve the oncoecological situation.
