The objectives of this study were to isolate and evaluate microorganisms with the ability to degrade high molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the presence of synthetic surfactants. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia VUN 10,010, isolated from PAH- contaminated soil, utilized pyrene
When inoculated at high cell densities, three strains of Pseudomonas cepaciu degraded the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) benzo[a]pyrene, dibenz[u,h]anthracene and coronene as sole carbon and energy sources. After 63 days incubation, there was a 20 to 30% decrease in the concentration of ben
