Karakteristik biodegradasi alkil sulfonat liniar oleh Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Detergent contained of Linear Alkyl Sulfonate (LAS) is toxic material to human, animal and microorganism. Strain S1 isolatedfrom detergent contaminated soil was able to grow in media with LAS as a sole carbon source. LAS degradation took place underaerobic condition, with μmax of 0.31-h, Ks = 7.75 mg/L, Vmax = 1.04 mg/L.hour-1and Km = 8.119 mg/L. Analyses of 16s rDNA revealedthat S1 is belonging to Pseudomonas aeruginosa
