Isolation and characterization of biosurfactant-producing bacteria isolated from petroleum contaminated sites with the potential to be used in bioremediation

Surfactants have been widely used to facilitate biodegradation of petroleum pollutant; particularly those are being produced by microorganisms which are also known as biosurfactant. Six bacterial isolates from petroleum contaminated sites were found to be potential hydrocarbon degrader candidates...
