Abstract
degradation of total (49%), LMW (>75%) and HMW PAHs (>35%) was achieved with an enriched bacterial consortium of these microbes. Overall, these findings suggests that co-composting treatment of crude oil sludge with animal manures selects for intrinsically diverse bacterial community, that could be a driving force behind accelerated bioremediation, and can be exploited for engineered remediation processes.
