## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Bioaccessibility is often the limiting factor for the biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in soils. The present study explores the potential of amending canola oil, an economically and ecologically attractive soil additive, for the enhancement of bio

BACKGROUND: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are potential hazards in the environment owing to their toxic, carcinogenic and recalcitrant nature. Biodegradation of these compounds, although effective compared with other treatment techniques, is problematic owing to its low aqueous solubility
## Abstract A major difficulty in assessing bioremediation in hydrocarbon impacted field sites is the determination of the extent and products of contaminant biodegradation. Previously, various analytical techniques, including mass spectrometry and chromatography, have been used to characterize com
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
