Petroleum Hydrocarbon Bioremediation Using Native Fungal Isolates and Consortia

Figure 3

Fungal isolates that were grown on solidified Czapek's Dox medium complemented with petroleum hydrocarbons as a solitary carbon source have shown a clear modification in the appearance of petroleum oil surrounding them. (a) Penicillium chrysogenum; (b) Scopulariopsis brevicaulis; (c) Stemphylium botryosum; (d) Alternaria alternate; (e) Cladosporium sphaerospermum; and (f) Curvularia brachyspora.
