- The objective of this study was to examine the possibility of measuring the growth of three white-rot fungi in soil contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), by estimating the soil levels of the phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) 18:2ω6,9. The effect of the fungi on the PAH concentration and on the indigenous bacterial population in the soil was monitored. As shown by visual examination, the fungi investigated, Pleurotus ostreatus, Phanerochaete chrysoporium and Hypholoma fasciculare, grew well in autoclaved soil, whilst only H. fasciculare grew in non-autoclaved soil. In these reactors, there was also detected an increase in the PLFA 18:2ω6,9. However, the interpretation of the PLFA data was somewhat disturbed since 18:2ω6,9 also was found to be present in the birch wood used as a fungal substrate. In autoclaved soil, P. ostreatus and P. chrysosporium were found to exhibit a PAH-degrading capability, with the total PAH concentration decreasing from 209±35 and 186±2 to 149±6 and 109±6 mg/kg dry weight (dw) soil, respectively, during the 10 week incubation period. No PAH-degradation could be detected in any treatment using non-autoclaved soil. In the autoclaved soil, the total level of bacterial specific PLFAs in all fungal treatments, and in a control using added ground birch sticks, was found to be lowered. In the non-autoclaved soil, 6 out of 9 selected bacterial PLFAs exhibited a significant change between the treatments, but the overall total content of bacterial PLFAs did not change. The present study has shown that it is possible to measure fungal growth in a PAH-contaminated soil derived from a former gasworks plant by estimating the levels of the PLFA 18:2ω6,9. The inoculated fungi affected the indigenous bacteria, as shown by estimating the level of bacterial specific PLFAs. Finally, fungal PAH-degradation could be detected in autoclaved soil but not in non-autoclaved soil.

- The capability of wood-rotting fungi (WRF) to colonise contaminated soil is an important fungal characteristic in the development of WRF-based soil bioremediation, it is also important to have methods that monitor the presence of the WRF in the soil. In this lab-scale study, it was shown that it was possible to re-capture, localise and identify a brown-rot fungus, Antrodia vaillantii, after it has been inoculated into, and grown in, a contaminated soil from a former gasworks site. The three-dimensional outgrowth of A. vaillantii was monitored by allowing it to grow into fungicide-treated wood baits, temporarily placed in the soil. After two weeks, the baits were withdrawn from the soil and surface sterilised with hydrogen peroxide to favour fungi growing inside baits, i.e., A. vaillantii. After subsequent plating of baits on selective agar medium the presence of A. vaillantii was confirmed with PCR/RFLP. A. vaillantii was found to be viable throughout the 54 days long study and exhibited a surface growth pattern similar to other well-known cord-forming basidiomycetes. Firstly, the upper part of the soil closest to the place of inoculation was colonised, however, over a period of time, the area of colonisation spread deeper into the soil. The detection method employed in the current study gave a conservative estimate of the fungal proliferation and did not require extensive sampling. Its use could be applicable in both applied research, such as soil bioremediation, and in pure microbial ecology studies.

- The white-rot fungi Trametes versicolor PRL 572, Trametes versicolor MUCL 28407, Pleurotus ostreatus MUCL 29527, Pleurotus sajor-caju MUCL 29757 and Phanerochaete chrysosporium DSM 1556 were investigated for their ability to degrade the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) anthracene, benz[a]anthracene and dibenz[a,h]anthracene in soil. The fungi were grown on wheat straw and mixed with artificially contaminated soil. The results of this study show that, in a heterogeneous soil environment, the fungi have different abilities to degrade PAH, with Trametes showing little or no accumulation of dead-end metabolites and Phanerochaete and Pleurotus showing almost complete conversion of anthracene to 9,10-anthracenedione. In contrast to earlier studies, Phanerochaete showed the ability to degrade the accumulated 9,10-anthracenedione while Pleurotus did not. This proves that, in a heterogeneous soil system, the PAH degradation pattern for white-rot fungi can be quite different from that in a controlled liquid system.

- Anaerobic degradation of a semi-solid waste with a total solids content of 4% particulate matter, much of it insoluble, was investigated in four laboratory-scale reactors. Two of the reactors were equipped with different textile materials for immobilisation of microorganisms, while the other two were used as continuously-stirred-tank reactor references, A constant organic loading rate and hydraulic retention time were used in the start-up period; the hydraulic retention time was then decreased and the effects of this change were monitored. Volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration and pH were chosen as indicators of the microbial status in the reactors. The reactors with support material showed a greater resistance to overload than did the continuously-stirred-tank reactors. This is in agreement with many studies undertaken on the anaerobic treatment of wastewater. However, no problems with clogging occurred, showing that a support material is also applicable in systems treating waste containing large amounts of insoluble, particulate matter. The pH was comparable to VFA for indicating an approaching process failure. However, the pattern of VFA accumulation was qualitatively different between the reactors with and without support material, Obviously the metabolic pattern of mixed cultures changes when the microorganisms are immobilised.
