The low solubility and high hydrophobicity of many hydrocarbon compounds make them highly unavailable to microorganisms. Release of biosurfactants is one of the strategies used by microorganisms to influence the uptake of PAHs and hydrophobic compounds in general.
biosurfactant production properties of hydrocarbon degraders is crucial to understanding the physiology of the organisms and maximizing their industrial and commercial potentials. The isolation, characterisation and degradative potentials of Pseudomonas sp. on pyrene .
