Biodegradation of Tapis crude oil using consortium of bacteria and fungi: optimization of crude oil concentration and duration of incubation by Response Surface Methodology

Response surface analysis was conducted to optimize the concentrations of Tapis crude oil and duration of incubation in order to achieve optimal microbial growth and crude oil biodegradation. Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) was employed, where the design contained 13 experimental runs with...

Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) was employed, where the design contained 13 experimental runs with different combinations of incubation time and crude oil concentration.
