Biosurfactant production by<i>Pseudomonas</i>sp. and its role in aqueous phase partitioning and biodegradation of chlorpyrifos

Abstract

This first report, to the best of our knowledge, on enhanced degradation of chlorpyrifos in the presence of biosurfactant(s), would help in developing bioremediation protocols to counter accumulation of organophosphates to toxic/carcinogenic levels in environment.
