## Abstract Two‐phase partitioning bioreactors (TPPBs) can be used to biodegrade environmental contaminants after their extraction from soil. TPPBs are typically stirred tank bioreactors containing an aqueous phase hosting the degrading microorganism and an immiscible, non‐toxic and non‐bioavailabl
The degradation by a consortium of slightly-halophile marine bacteria of styrene initially dissolved in silicone oil was monitored in batch reactors stirred at 75, 125 and 500 rpm, respectively. In the 75 and 125 rpm cases, the styrene biodegradation rate was higher than the rate of spontaneous part
