Studies on the Biodegradation of Hydrocarbons using Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus niger
Abstract
Biodegradation or biotic degradation or biotic decomposition is the chemical dissolution of material by bacteria or other biological means. The term is often used in relation to ecology, waste management, biomedicine, and the natural environment (bioremediation) and is now commonly associated with environmentally friendly products that are capable of decomposing back into natural elements. Organic material can be degraded aerobically with oxygen, or an aerobically, without oxygen. A term related to biodegradation is biomineralisation, in which organic matter is converted into minerals. Bio surfactant, extracellular surfactant secreted by microorganisms, enhances the biodegradation process.
Keywords: Bio surfactant, Strain, Sludge, Gram Staining
