Microorganisms Inhabiting Creosote-contaminated Soil
Introduction Creosote treated wood has been used for most of wood construction and many of facilities. When the treated wood is exposed in soils, creosote is eluviated into the soil followed by weather and elapsed time. This contamination can cause adverse health effect, skin disease and destroyed an ecosystem. Successful bioremediation for treating xenobiotic contaminated soil requires the optimal condition of indigenous and xenobiotic-degrading microbes. It is known that bioremediation using microorganisms were useful methods, in ease of bacteria, it has already demonstrated about their degradable ability and usability by many researches. For example, Burkholderia cepacia and Pseudomanasfluorescens have been studied. Fungi are known for having remarkable ability to degrade complex and resist natural materials such as lignin and crystalline cellulose. They can penetrate insoluble substances and initiate a succession of other microorganisms to decomposed materials. Therefore, understanding of indigenous microorganisms is necessary to application of many of bioremediation strategies. Although many studies have been reported about microorganisms, there is still sufficient information of diverse indigenous fungi, in this study, we offered information and compared about diverse fungi from creosote-contaminated soil and non-contaminated soil.
