Estimation of PAHs degradation potential of indigenous consortia is essential for remediation of polluted soils. In this study, the biodegradation of a mixture of 11 PAHs was compared using a long-term PAH-contaminated soil (CS) and an unpolluted agricultural soil (AS) as inocula in a two-liquid-pha...
