Effect of hydrocarbons on cell growth, cell surface hydrophobicity, emulsification activity and surface tension after 14 d of incubation at 30 °C.
| Strain | Percentage of degradation (%) | Cell surface hydrophobicity (%) | Surface tension (mN/m) | Emulsification activity (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RMA-1 | 57 ± 1.5 | 71.5 ± 2.3 | 50 ± 3.2 | 36 ± 1.0 |
| RMA-2 | 55 ± 1.3 | 71.5 ± 2.0 | 51 ± 2.6 | 31 ± 2.4 |
The surface tension MSM without fungi was 61.7 mN/m. Data are given as means ± SD from triplicate determinations.
