Abstract:
The capability of a bacterial population to degrade oil hydrocarbons and naphthalene was found to be markedly enhanced by an optimized P:N ratio as well as by proper application of a surface-active compound. The importance of this optimization procedure was shown by both laboratory and technologically performed experiments.
