Title: Fate of N and P sources in subsurfaces during in-situ bioremediation

Abstract

Limitations of macronutrients and electron acceptors are considered primary reasons why a number of otherwise easily biodegradable chemicals persist in nature even in presence of microbial flora capable of metabolizing them. In this research, interactions of a number of macronutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous sources) with several different soils have been investigated. Both sorptive as well as biotic and abiotic transformations have been studied. The experimental results and their interpretations will be discussed in this presentation. Quantification of these interactions is expected to lead to a more methodical selection of the appropriate macronutrients and their doses for in-situ Bioremediation.
