Values of biodegradation indices in the different microcosms. The data are presented as the mean values ± SD (n = 4).
| Microcosms | nC17/Pristane | nC18/Phytane |
|---|---|---|
| Control | 9.0 ± 0.6 | 8.2 ± 0.8 |
| BS | 5.2 ± 0.4 | 4.5 ± 0.5 |
| BA-C1 | 2.0 ± 0.2 | 1.6 ± 0.2 |
| BA-C2 | 0.7 ± 0.05 | 0.5 ± 0.05 |
Control: untreated microcosms, BS: biostimulated microcosms, BA-C1 and BA-C2: microcosms bioaugmented with the bacterial community C1 and the mixed culture C2, respectively.
