摘　　要：Biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons （PAHs） is very difficult in saline-alkaline soil due to the inhibition of microbial growth under saline-alkaline stress. The microorganisms that can most effectively degrade PAHs were screened by introducing microorganisms immobilized on farm byproducts and assessing the validity of the immobilizing technique for PAHs degradation in pyrene-contaminated saline-alkaline soil. Among the microorganisms examined, it was found that Mycobacterium sp. B2 is the best, and can degrade 82.2% and 83.2% of pyrene for free and immobilized cells after 30 days of incubation. The immobilization technique could increase the degradation of pyrene significantly, especially for fungi. The degradation of pyrene by the immobilized microorganisms Mucor sp. F2, fungal consortium MF and co-cultures of MB＋MF was increased by 161.7% （P 〈 0.05）, 60.1% （P 〈 0.05） and 59.6% （P 〈 0.05） after 30 days, respectively, when compared with free F2, MF and MB＋ME Scanning electron micrographs of the immobilized microstructure proved the positive effects of the immobilized microbial technique on pyrene remediation in saline- alkaline soil, as the interspace of the carder material structure was relatively large, providing enough space for cell growth. Co-cultures of different bacterial and fungal species showed different abilities to degrade PAHs. The present study suggests that Mycobacterium sp. B2 can be employed for in situ bioremediation of PAHs in saline-alkaline soil, and immobilization of fungi on farm byproducts and nutrients as carriers will enhance fungus PAil-degradation ability in saline-alkaline soil.Biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons （PAHs） is very difficult in saline-alkaline soil due to the inhibition of microbial growth under saline-alkaline stress.
