Biodegradation Of Waste Cooking Oil And Waste Engine Oil By Locally Isolated Microfungus, Aspergillus Spp. USM-Ar1

Large amounts of waste cooking oil and waste engine oil from residential areas and automotive industry, respectively, can impose adverse impact if not disposed off properly. Fungi have a higher tolerance to hydrocarbon toxicity due to their physiology and adaptation to the environment, subsequent...
