Abstract
Abstract Triton X-100 is widely used in various industrial and commercial products. The harmful effects of Triton X-100 on aquatic organisms have experimentally been shown. In this study, we isolated twelve bacteria from polluted water and soil samples, demonstrating the ability to utilize Triton X-100 as their exclusive carbon and energy source. Strain VK30, distinguished by its effective Triton X-100 utilization, underwent further investigation and was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa through 16S rRNA gene analysis. The degradation of Triton X-100 was validated via UV–Visible spectrophotometric analysis. These findings suggest that strain VK30 can be a promising candidate for remediation of Triton X-100.
