Abstract:Surfactants are substances that can reduce its surface tension during dissolved in water or liquid and produce foam or solid. Bacterial-degrading SDS can be used for the bioremediation of this toxic substance in aquatic bodies or in soil. In this study, the isolation, identification and characterization of a local SDS-degrading bacterium is reported. Samples were isolated from a local location that had a history in surfactant contamination. Screening results shows that the best SDS-degrader was identified as … Show more
