Solubilization and desorption of PAHs in soil-aqueous system by biosurfactants produced from Pseudomonas aeruginosa P-CG3 under thermophilic condition.

abstract：:Combustion processes are known to produce organic micro-pollutants in the flue gas at concentrations ranging over several orders of magnitude. Some organic micro-pollutants are suspected of being pseudo-estrogens and as such they can affect the public health. In this study, the possible application of the yeast based ...
