Abstract:The compound, Phenanthrene, a three-ring polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) commonly occurs in the environment and it is derived from grilled meals, tobacco, crude oil, coal tar and automobile exhaust among other sources. Phenanthrene has been identified as a potentially hazardous PAH. Bioremediation is the most popular way of elimination technique since it is a sustainable solution that results in full mineralization of Phenanthrene. In this study, we aim to perform the biodegradation of phenanthrene by using the… Show more
