Isolation and Characterization of SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) Degrading Organisms from SDS Contaminated Areas

Abstract: Due to widespread use of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) in households and industry followed by its subsequent disposal in waterways, there is apprehension of alarming consequences on various living organisms. In order to design effective bioremediation strategy in the tropics, efficient strains having fast degradation capacity and high optimum growth temperature are much needed. Biodegradation is the process whereby organic (i.e. carboncontaining) matter is decomposed by the action of microorganisms present in t… Show more

“…2). Similar to the results of this investigation [14,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35], the literature suggests that neutrophilic degraders prefer a pH range of 6 to 8.0 for SDS degradation or growth. At a pH of 9.5, the growth of the bacterial consortium drastically slowed, likely because of the extremely alkaline circumstances.…”

“…1). Similar to the results of this study [14,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35], mesophilic degraders often grow best at temperatures between 25 and 35 °C when degrading or growing SDS.…”
