Biodegradation and bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Microbial degradation of PAHs is considered to be the major decomposition process for these contaminants in nature and is of great practical interest for implementation of bioremediation. The reviews on the foundation of bioremediation biodegradation:the isolation and purification of degraded bacteria, microbial community, degradation mechanism and methods were done. The prospects on this field are discussed.
