Comparative studies on lignin and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons degradation by basidiomycetes fungi

► PAHs (LSF, SSF and in soil) and Lignin biodegradation. ► Wild fungi, bacterial and their co cultures. ► PAHs degradation increased in LSF, declined in SSF and in soil. ► Cocultures fail to increase PAH degradation in LSF and in SSF.
