[Complex effect of surface-active substances on the process of microbiological hydrocarbon oxidation].

The object of this work is to study the effect of various emulsifiers on microbiological oxidation of n-alkanes. The detergents improved permeability of cellular membranes and increased the activity of dehydrogenase. A considerable effect was observed in the presence of anionic (sodium laurylsulfate and ammonium alkylpyrophosphate) and nonionogenic (Tween 85, Syntanol DS-10) surfactants.
