Mycoremediation of Spent Lubricating Oil Contaminated Soil Using Pleurotus ostreatus

Maduwuba, M. C*

This study was conducted to evaluate the remediation capability of Pleurotus ostreatus on spent lubricating oil polluted soil. Twenty percent (v/w) lubricating oil was spiked into 100 g of garden soil, inoculated with P. ostreatus pre-grown with sawdust as a substrate. The changes in pH, moisture content, total petroleum hydrocarbon, percentage tot...
