Effect of P450 inhibitor piperonyl butoxide (PB) on biodegradation of pyrene and benzo(a)pyrene by P. chrysosporium. Nutrient-rich malt extract broth cultures and negative controls were prepared as described under Materials and Methods section. Final concentrations of the test PAH and PB in the cultures were 20 ppm and 0.5 mM, respectively. Asterisk indicates statistically significant (P ≤0.05) effect of the inhibitor. The plotted values represent means ± standard deviations for three biological replicates. Abbreviations: Pyr, pyrene; BaP, benzo(a)pyrene; no-inh, no inhibitor.
