Fig. 8. Pentachlorophenol removal and pentachloroanisole (PCA) accumulation after 7 wk by the white-rot fungal isolates Trametes versicolor HR131, Phanerochaete chrysosporium (ATCC 34351 & 24725), and Phanerochaete sordida (ATCC 90628), grown on a high nitrogen growth substrate (C/N = 51:1) before bioaugmentation into 1065 mg kg–1 (dry wt.) pentachlorophenol-contaminated field soil. The 90% confidence intervals (7 wk, mg kg–1 dry wt.): P. chrysosporium (pooled), 339–777 (PCP), and 584–743 (PCA); P. sordida (not pooled), 0–781 (PCP), and 715–1034 (PCA).
