Abstract

The primary biodegradation of dihexyl sulfosuccinate has been demonstrated using two single cultures and three mixed bacterial cultures ofComamonas terrigena. Primary biodegradation was found in all variants. The highest biotransformation rate and efficiency was observed in one of the single strains. No synergistic effect on degradation was found in mixed cultures.
