Isolation and characterization of n-alkane utilizing bacteria, which produce biomulsifiers

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Bacterial strains were isolated by enrichment cultures from oil-contaminated soil samples. In the present study, several strains, capable of growing on crude oil, were isolated. Isolates were screened for their inherent abilities to produce bioemulsifiers when they were grown on hydrocarbon substrates.
