Popis: Nowadays, the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)-contaminated soil has received wide attention. In this work, Ochrobactrum sp. (PW) was isolated through selective enrichment from PAHs-contaminated soil in coking plant of Beijing, and the effects of PW on phytoremediation of that soil by alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) were investigated through pot experiments. Plant biomass, peroxidase (POD) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) contents, soil enzyme activity (polyphenol oxidase and dehydrogenase activity), and residual concentration of PAHs in soils were determined to illustrate the ability of PW for enhancing the degradation of PAHs by plants. The results showed that the fresh weight of ryegrass and alfalfa inoculated with PW was significantly (p 0.05) increased while the activity of POD and MDA contents were notably (p 0.05) reduced than that without inoculation. Additionally, PW enhanced the activity of polyphenol oxidase and dehydrogenase in soil significantly (p 0.05), and further enhanced the degradability of the system to PAHs. Different treatment methods could be ranked by the following order according to the degradability: SP (alfalfa + PW) RP (ryegrass + PW) PW (PW) S (alfalfa) R (ryegrass). The combined action of PW and alfalfa/ryegrass could accelerate the degradability of PAHs from soil contaminated by coking plants. PW could be used as potential bacteria to promote phytoremediation of the soil contaminated by PAHs.
