Impact of digestate and its fractions on mineralization of C-phenanthrene in aged soil.

The impact of whole digestate (WD) and its fractions (solid [SD] and liquid [LD]) on C-phenanthrene mineralization in soil over 90 d contact time was investigated. The C-phenanthrene spiked soil was aged for 1, 30, 60 and 90 d. Analysis of water-soluble nitrogen, phosphorus, total (organic and inorganic) carbon, and quantitative bacterial count were conducted at each time point to assess their impact on mineralization of C-phenanthrene in soils.
