Removal (mean and standard deviation) of individual PAHs from bioreactor-treated soil after further incubation for 14 days under the experimental conditions. Identical letters above error bars indicate that those conditions were not significantly different (Tukey’s HSD; p < 0.05). PAHs with no letters above the error bars indicate that no significant difference was observed for any condition. Abbreviations: NAP – naphthalene, ACE – acenaphthene, FLU – fluorene, PHN – phenanthrene, ANT – anthracene, FLA – fluoranthene, PYR – pyrene, BaA – benz[a]anthracene, CHR – chrysene, BbF – benzo[b]fluoranthene, BkF – benzo[k]fluoranthene, BaP – benzo[a]pyrene, DBA – dibenz[a,h]anthracene, BgP – benzo[g,h,i]perylene.
