Isolation and characterization of alkylbenzene sulfonate-degrading bacteria from sediments in Pulo Island and Fisherman's Wharf, Coastal Area, Manila Bay, Philippines

Alkylbenzene sulfonate (ABS) is a primary chemical component of detergents and household cleaning aids. The foam that remains on the surface of water has become a major pollutant to our rivers and seas.; The study dealt with the isolation of bacteria, from the sediments of Coastal Area, Manila Bay,...
