Effects of heavy metals in well water on biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbon by consortia of bacteria and fungi

This paper reports a study that measured the effect of some heavy metals at different concentrations (Lead 0.86 ppm, Copper 0.001 ppm, Manganese 0.05 ppm, and Nickel 0.001 ppm) in well water contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbon on biodegradation by a consortium of hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria and fungi, using distilled water amended with 5% bonny light crude oil and varying concentratio...
