Biodegradation and phytotoxicity of crude oil hydrocarbons in an agricultural soil

ABSTRACT Land treatment of crude oil is used by the oil industry, since it has been recognized that hydrocarbons (HC) can be metabolized by the indigenous microbial community of soil. The crude oil biodegradation in agricultural soil was studied for 12-mo to determine the HC biodegradation and leach...
