Abstract BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Successful bioremediation often is difficult to achieve because of complex interactions between contaminants, the soil environment, and decomposer organisms. The objective of this work was to study the extent and pattern of contaminant biodegradation during slurry-phase bioremediation of four industrially-contaminated soils (<3% contamination) to obtain further insight into the factors which may control biodegradation. Two soils (sand and silty clay) were contaminated with creosote compounds, and two soils (loam and clay loam) were contaminated with petroleum compounds. Two liter glass jars containing 300g soil and 300 ml nutrient solution (300g soil and 100 ml nutrient for sand), and 5% inoculum of previously bioremediated soil containing an active culture, were rotated at 3 rpm at 22? C in the dark for 10 weeks. Biodegradation was monitored by measuring reductions in total dichloromethane-extractable organics (TEO), selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs),
