An isolate, coded as GIPAH-01, was resistant to 5 mg/LFluorene, Pyrene, Anthracene and Naphthalene. Of the four PAHs, Anthracene degradation by whole bacterial cells was assayed in vitro utilizing three levels of temperature (25, 35 and 45 ̊C), four levels of pH (5 to 8) and Anthracene concentration...
