FIG. 1.
Microbial growth (Δ) and biodegradation of PAHs (O) over time. (A) Enrichment cultures with NP; (B) enrichment cultures with PH; (C) enrichment cultures with PY. Monitoring of NP cultures ended at 84 h due to rapid degradation of the compound in comparison to PH and PY. Data represent the averages and standard errors of triplicate data.
