Fig. 1. Phenanthrene mineralization in aqueous cultures containing P. strain R, isolate P5-2, or co-culture of these strains with the surfactant-producing bacterium, P. aeruginosa ATCC 9027. Data points are means of determinations from triplicate experimental flasks and vertical bars represent one standard deviation about the mean.

Fig. 3. Phenanthrene mineralization in co-inoculated Kenansville (A) and Fallsington (B) soil. Data were normalized by P. strain R or Isolate P5-2 biomass (388 or 210 mg, respectively) and are presented as means of determinations from triplicate experimental microcosms. Vertical bars correspond to one standard deviation about the mean.

Fig. 4. Effect of 5 x critical micelle concentration (CMC) biosurfactant amendment on phenanthrene (PHE) mineralization in co-inoculated Kenansville (A) and Fallsington (B) soil. Data were normalized by P. strain R or Isolate P5-2 biomass (388 or 210 µg, respectively) and are presented as means of determinations from triplicate experimental microcosms. Vertical bars represent one standard deviation about the mean.
