Bioremediation of crude oil and heavy metal pollutants in marine environment by biosurfactant, rhamnolipid isolated from Stutzerimonas stutzeri − MW15
Totally eight bacteria were isolated from petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated marine harbour water. The isolate Stutzerimonas stutzeri showed better production of biosurfactants and biodegradation ability when compared with other biosurfactant-produced isolates. The current investigation promises the use of marine bacteria to produce biosurfactants with biodegradability, less toxicity, and eco-friendly nature.
