2.5. Bacterial adhesion to hydrocarbon (BATH) test Hydrophobicity assay of the isolate was carried out by the method described by Ramasamy et al. (2014) [18]. The isolate was grown in BH broth supplemented with 2% (v/v) diesel oil under optimized condition. The cell pellet was obtained af...
types of hydrocarbons (saturates, aromatics, resins, and asphaltenes) into the environment, ultimately impacting the terrestrial ecosystem. This impact arises from their ability to disrupt the healthy ecological balance9, terminating sensitive ecological receptor10, contaminate groundwater, pose health challe...
Petri dishes containing standard medium (TSB or LB) supplemented with PS. In summary, six bacterial species were identified, of which the two predominant ones belonged to thePseudomonasgenus and one toAlcaligenesgenus, with the genetic ability to metabolize hydrocarbons including phenol, according to ...
inhibition zone images were collected by a digital camera after 24 h incubation at 37 °C. Each Petri plate had four Ag-EG round pieces to reduce the error. The anti-bacterial adhesion effect was also evaluated by the colony-counting method. The round pieces of EG and Ag-EG were ...
