| dc.description.abstract | Microbial biodegradation of oil pollutants and their derivations has become the most environmental-friendly
method in the developing world. Lipolytic enzyme; Aspergillus niger extracted from oil polluted soil has been
studied, examined and found to degrade Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons found in petroleum contaminated soil. A.
niger can produce Bio-Surfactant at 25 °C and 35 °C that can biodegrade oil hydrocarbons. 24 hours at 35 °C it
can reduce surface tension from 55 Nm/m to 25.3 Nm/m at different percentages of crude oil. | en_US |
