Rapid Mineralization of Benzo[a]pyrene by a Microbial Consortium Growing on Diesel Fuel

A microbial consortium which rapidly mineralized the environmentally persistent pollutant benzo[a]pyrene was recovered from soil. The consortium cometabolically converted [7-(14)C]benzo[a]pyrene to (14)CO(2) when it was grown on diesel fuel, and the extent of benzo[a]pyrene mineralization was depend...
