“…Legumes could grow well in petroleum-contaminated soils with a high carbon-to-nitogen (C/N) ratio owing to their ability to harbor nitrogen-fixing bacteria and enrich the soil with nitrogen (Adam & Duncan 2003;Hall et al 2011;Shan et al 2014). Poaceae and Fabaceae families are influential in the phytoremediation of soils polluted with petroleum products (Borowik et al 2019;Hawrot-Paw et al 2019).…”

To assess the ability of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) and grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) plant species in phytoremediation by the utilization of freshwater and urban wastewater, greenhouse experiments were conducted in 2018 and 2019 with three diesel-contaminated soil levels of 0, 1.5, and 3% w/w (DC, D1.5, D3, respectively). The maximum of soil diesel removal of tall fescue was by freshwater (54% (2018); 46% (2019)) and in the grass, the pea was by wastewater (44% (2018); 41% (2019)). A significant difference was observed in the amount of diesel removal by the plants at two levels of contamination, but the type of irrigation water had no significant effect. The plant growth decreased significantly by diesel increased in all treatments except D1.5 of tall fescue-2018 that led to better growth compared to the DC treatment. Diesel concentration had significant effects on the plant parameters (dry weight, height, color, time of flowering, and podding), but the types of water had no similar impact. Phytoremediation was considered an effective method to reduce soil contamination, but treated wastewater could not significantly improve phytoremediation performance. The correlation coefficient indicated that the diesel removal rate was positively correlated with the plant height and shoot dry weight (p < 0.01).

“…Some studies indicate less or comparable effects induced by biofuels in comparison to fossil fuels 11 . Biodiesel can provide a good source of carbon and energy to various autochthonous soil microorganisms 12 , 13 and showed a positive effect on growth and development of some soil microorganisms 14 . However, other available results indicate that biofuel may have an adverse impact on the environment 15 .…”

Fuels and their components accumulate in soil, and many soil organisms are exposed to this pollution. Compared to intensive research on the effect of conventional fuel on soil, very few studies have been conducted on soil ecotoxicity of biofuels. Considering the limited information available, the present study evaluated the changes caused by the presence of biodiesel and diesel fuel in soil. The reaction of higher plants and soil organisms (microbial communities and invertebrates) was analysed. Conventional diesel oil and two types of biodiesel (commercial and laboratory-made) were introduced into the soil. Two levels of contamination were applied—5 and 15% (w/w per dry matter of soil). The plate method was used to enumerate microorganisms from soil contaminated with biodiesel and diesel fuel. Phytotoxicity tests were conducted by a 3-day bioassay based on the seed germination and root growth of higher plant species (Sorghum saccharatum and Sinapis alba). Fourteen-day ecotoxicity tests on earthworm were performed using Eisenia fetida. Based on the results of the conducted tests it was found out that the organisms reacted to the presence of fuels in a diverse manner. As to the microorganisms, both the growth and reduction of their number were noted. The reaction depended on the group of microorganisms, type of fuel and dose of contamination. The lipolytic and amylolytic microorganisms as well as Pseudomonas fluorescens bacteria were particularly sensitive to the presence of fuels, especially biodiesel. Fuels, even at a high dose, stimulated the growth of fungi. Monocotyledonous sugar sorghum plants were more sensitive to the presence of fuels than dicotyledonous white mustard. There was also a significant negative impact of contamination level on plant growth and development. Biodiesel, to a greater extent than conventional fuel, adversely affected the survival and volume of earthworms.
