The hair was the major nutrient for keratinolytic fungi and other soil microorganisms. The fungal inocula accelerated the petroleum hydrocarbon biodegradation process during the first month of the experiment. During the second month, TPH removal rates were similar for soil inoculated and not inoculated with fungi. The highest petroleum hydrocarbon removal rate was observed in soil inoculated with native fungal strains. The TPI-I removal rates were about 64% in soil covered with hair and 77% in soil not covered with hair. The lowest removal rate was observed in soil not inoculated with fungi (60%). The hair applied as additional nitrogen, sulfur and carbon source did not impact, or slightly inhibited, the petroleum hydrocarbon biodegradation process. The fungal inocula caused dramatic changes in soil fungal qualitative composition.}, type={Artykuł}, title={Influence of Fungal Inocula on the Removal of Petroleum Contamfnants from Soil}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/123787/PDF-MASTER/14_AE_VOL_29_4_2003_Przystas_Wplyw.pdf}, keywords={soil bioremediation, petroleum hydrocarbons biodegradation, keratinolytic fungi, bioprepartion}, }
