Practical Bioremediation Course – Laboratory Exercises on Biodegradation of Cationic Surfactant

From the perspective of the lab exercises leader and teaching assistant for the Bioremediation course, it was very difficult to design and conduct a set of exercises that would fit the course curriculum and satisfactorily demonstrate bioremediation basics through practical laboratory work. Thus, Bio...
