Comparative Roles of HBB5 Biosurfactant and Poultry Wastes in Polyaromatic Hydrocarbon Biodegradiation of Crude Oil-contaminated Sediment

I. L. Nkwocha, L. O. Odokuma & C. J. Ogugbue · Microbiology Research Journal International · 2022

The comparative study of poultry wastes- and HBB5 biosurfactant-mediated polyaromatic hydrocarbon biodegradation in sediment polluted with crude oil were investigated. The experiments were carried out for a period of 28 days by monitoring pH, nitrate, phosphate, polycyclic aromat...

Monoaromatic Hydrocarbon Bioremediation of Hydrocarbon-contaminated Soil Using HBB5 Biosurfactant Produced by Pseudomonas xiamenensis

I. L. Nkwocha & L. O. Odokuma · Journal of Advances in Microbiology · 2021

Biodegradation of benzene toluene ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX) is a slow and complex process. However, many microbial organisms have been shown to possess the capacity to biodegrade various components of a hydrocarbon. This study was aimed at investigating the role of biosurfa...
