Ne. Knidiri et al., PETROLEUM HYDROCARBON BIODEGRADATION - EF FECT OF SOME PARAMETERS ON STEP KINETICS, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie 2, Mecanique, physique, chimie, sciences de l'univers, sciences de la terre, 317(7), 1993, pp. 905-910
The kinetics of petroleum biodegradation has been studied by factorial
experimental design. The most important parameters were chosen: subst
rate nature and concentration, stirring and bacterial community. The r
esults show the presence of a step at the third week for all experimen
ts. Experimental design allowed the determination of parameter influen
ce and their interactions.
