Growth of a Bacillus species at the expense of an alkylbenzene sulphonate (ABS) synthetic detergent homologue (1-phenylundecane-p-sulphonate, 11-ABS) containing an odd number of carbon atoms in the alkyl side chain induced an enzyme complement able to biodegrade 11-ABS by alkyl side-chain oxidation,
