In this research, phenanthrene-degrading bacterial strain CH3 was isolated from oil-contaminated soil in Thailand using a spraying plate technique. The strain CH3 was identified as Pseudomonas sp. CH3 based on its 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Complete degradation of phenanthrene in the minimal salt...
