Biodegradation of phenanthrene as a model hydrocarbon: Power display of a super-hydrophobic halotolerant enriched culture derived from a saline-sodic soil

In this study, after evaluating the degradation activity of enriched cultures from four crude oil-contaminated soils in mineral salt medium, the most efficient ones were selected for further studies. The chemical analysis of cell-free extract containing phenanthrene by HPLC suggested the superior en...
