“…It is estimated that about one-third of the initial contamination is lost through abiotic phenomena such as volatilizaton, sorption processes and chemical transformation (Margesin et al, 1999). Bioavailability, degradation and toxicity of soil contaminants are all influenced by sorption, which is influenced by time, and the physicochemical properties of individual soils (Manilal and Alexander, 1991;Weissenfels et al, 1992;Erickson et al, 1993, Loehr andWebster, 1996;White and Alexander, 1996).…”

“…Earlier studies revealed the release of plant wax-derived alkanes during litter degradation and their transport into the surrounding soil (Lichtfouse et al, 1994;Cayet and Lichtfouse, 2001;Dignac and Rumpel, 2006). Mainly alkanes with a chain length shorter than C 20 can be transported into deeper soil layers and enter different soil compartments, where their bioavailability can be drastically reduced by physicochemical mechanisms such as (i) adsorption to soil organic matter and clay minerals (Manilal and Alexander, 1991;Richnow et al, 1995), (ii) adsorption to non-aqueous-phase liquids and (iii) diffusion into smaller pores inaccessible for microbes (Bosma et al, 1996). Soil microbes may also influence the bioavailability of alkanes.…”

“…Most of the works were confined to the degrading ability of bacteria and as such development of suitable mycoremediation strategies using potential fungal strains is a real challenge. The growth and distribution of crude oil degrading microbial populations depends on environmental conditions (Margesin & Schinner 2001), soil properties (Manilal & Alexander 1991), bioavailability of the PAH (Ogram et al 1985) and presence or absence of compounds toxic to microbes (Sarma et al 2017). Thus lack of tolerance of microbial population to these factors may lead to persistence of petroleum hydrocarbons in contaminated soils.…”
