Isolation, characterization and optimization of chrysene degradation using bacteria isolated from oil-contaminated water

Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are uncharged, non-polar molecules generated from natural and anthropogenic activities, where the emissions from anthropogenic activities predominate. Chrysene is a high molecular weight PAH, which is found to be highly recalcitrant and mutagenic in nature. The aim o...
