Fig. 9. Pentachlorophenol (PCP) removal after 7 wk by the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor HR131 after bioaugmentation with various culture ages and two fungal inoculum compositions into a 1043 mg kg–1 (dry wt.) PCP-contaminated field soil (no co-substrate amendment). The 90% confidence intervals for the final PCP concentration in the different bioaugmentation treatments (mg kg–1 PCP) were 737 to 1223 (9 d, F8), 541 to 1271 (9-d, F13), 548 to 1163 (11-d, F8), 402 to 936 (11-d, F13), 576 to 1073 (15-d, F8), and 939 to 1071 (15-d, F13). ANOVA: F13, P = 0.008; F8, P = 0.076; pooled 9-d and 11-d, F8, 785 to 1051.
