• Rhizoremediation: a beneficial plant-microbe interaction. (2004, background): “Studies of the degradation of PAHs with more than three fused rings are less ubiquitous, but the number of organisms found to degrade these aromatics is increasing (Cerniglia 1993; Grosser et al. 1991; Heitkamp and Cerniglia 1989; Kanaly and Harayama 2000).”
• Rhizospheric degradation of phenanthrene is a function of proximity to roots (2003, background): “It is assumed that bacteria can transform or degrade 2 – 4 rings PAH (Kanaly and Harayama, 2000) whereas fungi, especially ligninolytic species, can also degrade higher molecular weight compounds (Novotny et al., 1999; Schützendübel et al., 1999).”
• Bacterial Degradation of Aromatic Compounds (2009, background): “Proposed catabolic pathways of pyrene by bacteria [3, 9, 61, 76, 78, 82, 85, 86, 91, 139].”
• Bioremediation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAHs): A Perspective (2016, neutral): “Kannaly and Haryama [61] and Cerniglia [29] reported that the genotoxicity of PAHs increases with increase in number of fused benzene rings.”
• Microbial biodegradation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons. (2008, background): “There are only limited studies that document extensive mineralization of PAHs that have more than four rings (Kanaly & Harayama, 2000).”
• Effect of different non-ionic surfactants on the biodegradation of PAHs by diverse aerobic bacteria (2009, background): “…weight and the number of aromatic rings (Warmer and Peters, 2005), since, the solubility in water, volatility and persistence of PAHs decrease when molecular weight and the number of aromatic rings increase (Juhasz and Naidu, 2000; Kanaly and Harayama, 2000; Dimitriou-Christidis et al., 2007).”
• Ability of Some Soil Fungi in Biodegradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon (2014, background): “The crude oil molecules have a limited move and attach strongly at the soils surface therefore we must use the biological treatment to remove these pollutants because the crude oil hydrocarbons is staying at the upper six foots of the soil surface near the plants roots [9].”
