Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of ubiquitous persistent organic contaminants found in the environment most of which are toxic, mutagenic, teratogenic and carcinogenic. For an effective bioremediation of PAHs using micro-organisms, optimum environmental conditions needs to be in...
