Application of bacterial and yeast biosurfactants for enhanced removal and biodegradation of motor oil from contaminated sand

Background: This study investigated the potential application of two biosurfactants for enhanced removal capability and biodegradation of motor oil contaminated sand under laboratory conditions. The biosurfactants were produced by the yeast Candida sphaerica and by the bacterium Bacillus sp. cultiva...
