Description
Summary:	(PAH) solubility into the aqueous phase and promote 3 -A were used to enhance polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon amended with the biosurfactant and chemical surfactant were attributed to the increased partitioning of the weathered bioavailability for degradation. This work builds on an biosurfactant was greater than the toxicity of the PAHs biosurfactants in the remediation of petroleum hydrocarbons byHI3-A when grown on hexadecane. The final stage evaluated characterization of the extracellular biosurfactants produced crude's PAHs into the aqueous phase. degree of PAH partitioning. The acute toxicity of the Gas chromatographic/mass spectrophotometric (GC/MS) analysis Glycolipid biosurfactants produced by Rhodococcus species HI in contaminated aqueous and sediment environments. The initial stage of the research involved the production and Mcrotox' Basic Test. Results showed that the toxicity of the not significantly different from each other. The increased of the water soluble fraction (WSF) was used to determine the ongoing initiative to evaluate the performance of PAHs partitioned into the aqueous phase with the amended partitioned into the aqueous phase without surfactants. The petroleum PAHs partitioned into the aqueous phase in the presence and absence of surfactants was determined using the surfactant (Tween 80) in enhancing the partitioning of the performance of the glycolipid biosurfactant as compared to an unamended aqueous phase and a common chemical toxicity of the aqueous phases with the surfactants is toxicity of the PAHs partitioned into the aqueous phases weathered West Texas Crude Oil PAHs into the aqueous phase.
