Distribution of phenanthrene between soil and an aqueous phase in the presence of anionic micelle-like amphiphilic polyurethane particles

Influence of naphthalene biodegradation on the adhesion of Pseudomonas putida NCIB 9816-4 to a naphthalene-contaminated soil

“…The soil sample was air-dried and was passed through a series of sieves. Physical and chemical properties of the test soil were measured by The Jeil Analysis Center (Bucheon, South Korea), and are summarized in Table 1 [8]. Refer to [4] for the methods to prepare soil suspension and to perform cell adhesion experiments.…”
