  • Surfactant biocatalyst for remediation of recalcitrant organics and heavy metals
    Patent number: 7935516
    Abstract: Novel strains of isolated and purified bacteria have been identified which have the ability to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons including a variety of PAHs. Several isolates also exhibit the ability to produce a biosurfactant. The combination of the biosurfactant-producing ability along with the ability to degrade PAHs enhances the efficiency with which PAHs may be degraded. Additionally, the biosurfactant also provides an additional ability to bind heavy metal ions for removal from a soil or aquatic environment.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 2007
    Date of Patent: May 3, 2011
    Assignee: Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC
    Inventors: Robin L. Brigmon, Sandra Story, Denis J. Altman, Christopher J. Berry
