Environmental pollution problems caused by petroleum and its derivatives such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has remarkably increased and become a major global threat to human health and ecological equilibrium, resulting in a crucial need for remediation. Recently, in order to solve this problem, biofilm is one of the biodegradation approaches which could degrade and transform oil components effectively. Moreover, to enhance the petroleum hydrocarbons removal efficiency and easy to apply in any place bio-carriers, biochar was used to attach biofilm-forming microorganisms. Biochar is not only used as a carrier for microorganisms but also a source of substrates to help absorb a part of aromatic compounds. Therefore, in this investigation, we used the mixture of multiple petroleum-degrading and biofilm-forming bacterial strains immobilized on husk biochar to create an oil-degrading product. The ability of oil-degrading bacteria immobilized on biochar, planktonic bacteria and biochar without bacteria on the elimination of total petroleum hydrocarbons and several aromatic hydrocarbons was investigated.
