Naphthalene Bioremediation is no Problem for Petrox
Petrox microbe thrive on naphthalene and are very efficient at naphthalene bioremediation in the field. In fact, naphthalene is occasionally used in the QA/QC process to verify Petrox viability and effectiveness. In this test, the Petrox organisms are placed on an agar devoid of a carbon source. The naphthalene is applied to the top plate as the sole carbon source. The Petrox viability is then ...

Membrane Filtration (MF) Technique
The membrane filtration (MF) technique is a versatile and useful method for concentrating organisms from an aqueous sample onto the surface of a filter for reliable detection and accurate enumeration. The filter is then placed on a culture medium for culture and analysis.
