Petroleum Hydrocarbon Bioremediation Using Native Fungal Isolates and Consortia

Table 3

Quantitative degradation analysis, estimated by GC, of saturated hydrocarbons using three fungal consortia corresponding to untreated control. FC1 = mixed culture of Penicillium chrysogenum and Curvularia brachyspora, FC2 = mixed culture of Scopulariopsis brevicaulis and Stemphylium botryosum, and FC3 = mixed culture of Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, Stemphylium botryosum, and Cladosporium sphaerospermum.
