Biodegradation of crude oil hydrocarbon by microorganisms in seawater is generally slow because of the harsh environmental condition due to high salinity. The aim of this study was to compare sawdust (SD) and oil palm empty fruit bunch wastes as suitable carrier material to immobilise hydrocarbon-de...
