Bioremediation of various aromatic and emerging pollutants by Bacillus cereus sp. isolated from petroleum sludge

The accumulation of toxic chemical constituents in sludge and wastewater has fuelled an interest in investigating efficient and eco-friendly wastewater remediation approaches. In this study, a set of bacterial samples were isolated from petroleum sludge and tested for their ability to degrade differ...
