[Degradation of polycyclic hydrocarbones anthracene by using Pseudomonas aeruginusa]

ABSTRACT

Background and Objective: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons [PAHs] are the most important organic pollutants that causing multiple side effects including carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxicity. Among the aromatic compounds degrading bacteria, pseudomonas produce board spectrum of degrading enzymes and are used, as biological tools, for decreasing of PAHs. This study was done to evaluate the degradation of polycyclic hydrocarbones anthracene by using Pseudomonas aeruginusa
