Joshua Crittenden, Superfund Center trainee with Project 5, spoke at the Duke University Superfund Center Community Advisory Board’s annual meeting on July 16, 2021.
His talk, “Identification & isolation of PAH degrading fungi & bacteria in esturine-influenced creosote contaminated sediment”, focused on Joshua’s ongoing bioremediation research aimed at using native and non-native bacteria and fungi to clean up sediment and soils contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds. The Duke Superfund Center has long-running field sites in the Elizabeth River, VA to study these PAH contaminated sites.
