The biodegradation of fat, oil, and grease (FOG) is important in water pollution control and wastewater management. In this study, the viability of FOG-degrading microorganisms on palm oil biodegradation was assessed. Seven strains capable of degrading FOG were isolated from palm oil mill effluent (...
