Enhanced biodegradation of phenanthrene by a marine bacterium in presence of a synthetic surfactant

The biodegradation of phenanthrene by the marine strain Sphingomonas sp. 2MPII (DSMZ 11572) was enhanced by the solubilizating properties of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80. After 197 h of incubation, 85 ± 4% of the initial amount of phenanthrene (0.4 g l−1) was biodegraded in presence of Tween 80...
