Abstract:This study investigates the biodegradation abilities of Lysinibacillus sphaericus C3-41 in restaurant wastewater. The extent of biodegradation was monitored using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) analysis. There was significant reduction in mineral content (p < 0.05) of the wastewater after 6 days incubation while the highest growth (1.4 OD 600 ) and lipase production (50mMol/min) was observed on the 5 th day. About 2.5% (v/v) oil concentration and pH 8 were fou… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
