Biosurfactant-Assisted Biodegradation of Fluoranthene in a Two-Stage Continuous Stirred Tank Bio-Reactor System using Microorganism

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known to be resistant to environmental degradation due to their hydrophobicity which results in low solubility in water. PAHs are therefore typically less bioavailable than other non-aromatic compounds in the same range of molecular weight. One of the PAHs...
