Degradation of surfactant and metal-removal by bacteria from a Nigerian laundry environment

Degradation of surfactant and metal-removal by bacteria from a Nigerian laundry environment

This study aimed at degrading sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), a surfactant in the presence of metals using metal-tolerant bacteria from a laundry site. Metal composition of wastewater and sediments from a laundry environment was determined using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Paenibacillus am...
