Reduction of Surface Tension of Petroleum Using Hydrocarbon Degrading Bacterial Activity
Hydrocarbon degrading bacteria produce biosurfactants, which facilitate the biodegradation process. This is the first step towards getting access to interactions between the bacteria's hydrophilic surface and the hydrophobic surface of the hydrocarbons. Due to their amphipathic nature, biosurfa...
