Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) belong among organic compounds that accumulate in the environment mainly resulting from human activities. Because of their potentially negative effects on human health, methods of their removal from the environment are intensively studied. In this work, a biodegradation method of bioaugmentation based on sequential stepwise mixing of inoculated soil with non inoculated soil was used. The subject of this work was an application of a bacterial consortium on a real contaminated (7399 mg.kg-1 of PAHs) soil. 8 bacterial strains isolated from other contaminated sites were inoculated. DNA was isolated from the samples during the inoculation process and the degradation of PAHs was monitored after 4 months.
