Figure 1 - Successful phytoremediation of crude-oil contaminated soil at an oil exploration and production company by plants-bacterial synergism
Endophyte-assisted phytoremediation of crude oil contaminated soil in the vicinity of an oil exploration and production company. Oil polluted soil (before experiment was conducted) (a, b), vegetation of Leptochloa fusca and Brachiaria mutica (c), augmentation of endophytes (Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain BRRI54, Acinetobacter sp. strain BRSI56, and Klebsiella sp. LCRI87) (d), and growth of the plants after 90 days of vegetation (e).
