[Effect of surfactants on biodegradation of PAHs by white-rot fungi].

The impacts of surfactants (Tween80, Trition X-100, LAS and SDS) on PAHs degradation by white-rot fungi in aqueous system and soil-water system were studied. Results show that the type and concentration of surfactants, PAHs statues, pH value of the systems and temperature have impacts on the degradation of PAHs. In aqueous system, all the four surfactants restrained the degradation of PAHs. In soil-water system, Trition X-100 and SDS restrained the degradation of PAHs, while the impacts of Tween80 and LAS on PAHs degradation were influenced by the concentration of the surfactants. Low concentration Tween80 and LAS didn't promote the degradation of PAHs, and even played minor effects of restrain. But the degradation of PAHs could be enhanced with the increasing of the concentrations of Tween80 and LAS to certain levels. However, Tween80 and LAS with significant higher concentrations didn't show higher abilities on the promotion of PAHs degradation.
