Potential tributyl-tin (TBT) biodegradation agent in contaminated sediment
This study was conducted in order to seek potential microorganisms which are able to biodegrade TBT in sediments. Sediment samples were obtained from three seagrass beds (Merambong,Tanjung Adang, and Tanjung Kupang) and a fishing pier (Jeti Pendas). Microorganisms that are resistant to TBT concentra...
