A natural phenanthrene-degrading consortium CON was inoculated with an exogenous strain Sphingobium sp.

Analyses of phenanthrene and persulfate concentrations and soil pH were performed.

Organic carbon normalized sorption coefficient of phenanthrene in soils was determined in a batch experiment.

Their names are: benzene, toluene, xylene, phenol, cresol, naphthalene, anthracene, methyl anthracene, phenanthrene and carbazol.

DNA hybrids containing non-nucleosidic pyrene and phenanthrene building blocks were co-crystallized with the recently described binding domain of the restriction enzyme BpuJI.
