<i>Perna canaliculus</i> as an Ecological Material in the Removal of <i>o</i>-Cresol Pollutants from Soil

Soil contamination with cresol is a problem of the 21st century and poses a threat to soil microorganisms, humans, animals, and plants. The lack of precise data on the potential toxicity of <i>o</i>-cresol in soil microbiome and biochemical activity, as well as the search for effective r...

<i>Perna canaliculus</i> as an Ecological Material in the Removal of <i>o</i>-Cresol Pollutants from Soil
description Soil contamination with cresol is a problem of the 21st century and poses a threat to soil microorganisms, humans, animals, and plants. The lack of precise data on the potential toxicity of <i>o</i>-cresol in soil microbiome and biochemical activity, as well as the search for effective remediation methods, inspired the aim of this study. Soil is subjected to four levels of contamination with <i>o</i>-cresol: 0, 0.1, 1, 10, and 50 mg <i>o</i>-cresol kg<sup>−1</sup> dry matter (DM) of soil and the following are determined: the count of eight groups of microorganisms, colony development index (CD) and ecophysiological diversity index (EP) for organotrophic bacteria, actinobacteria and fungi, and the bacterial genetic diversity. Moreover, the responses of seven soil enzymes are investigated. <i>Perna canaliculus</i> is a recognized biosorbent of organic pollutants. Therefore, microbial biostimulation with <i>Perna canaliculus</i> shells is used to eliminate the negative effect of the phenolic compound on the soil microbiome.
