Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) Degrading Potential of Bacteria Isolated from Iko River Sediment

Stephen Akpan, Senyene Umana & Solomon Etuk · Microbiology Research Journal International · 2020

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degrading potential of bacteria isolated from Iko River sediment, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria was investigated. The mean total heterotrophic bacteria obtained from the sediment samples was 6.4 × 10 cfu/g while 9.8 x 103 cfu/g hydrocarbon utilizi...

Bioremediation of Crude Oil Contaminated Soils Using Surfactants and Hydrocarbonoclastic Bacteria

C. A. Etok, O. D. Akan & A. A. Adegoke · Microbiology Research Journal International · 2015

A study of the rate of crude oil remediation in soils with the application of surfactants and hydrocarbonoclastic bacterial population was undertaken. Locally sourced particulate surfactants (wood and palm bunch ashes) were compared with synthetic surfactant, Tween 80, and found...
