| Abstract | Anionic surfactants are the most widely exploited chemical surfactants, which are being incorporated into majority of detergents and cleaning products used for household and industrial applications. Linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) is one of the major xenobiotic anionic surfactants. Biodegradation is an effective process to reduce the amount of surfactants released in the environment. In this study soil samples were collected from detergent contaminated sites to isolate linear alkylbenzene sulphonate degrading bacteria using mineral salt media supplemented with LAS as sole source of carbon. From the twenty isolates selected for the study, two of them (L9 and L12) have exhibited excellent ability to degrade LAS. The LAS degradation ability was determined by using MBAS assay and HPLC. The selected isolates were immobilized in alginate and polyvinyl alcohol to check the suitability of the isolates in onsite LAS removal. The percentage of degradation of LAS by alginate entrapped L9 was 85.155 ± 1.2 and that of PVA immobilized cells was 58.535 ± 2.9. Whereas L12 PVA entrapped were good compared to alginate. L12 exhibited 62.977 ± 1.3 percentage of degradation of LAS when immobilized in PVA and 61.07 ± 0.6 percentage in alginate entrapped condition. In comparison between the organisms alginate entrapped Pseudomonas nitroreducens (L9) was found to be superior to Pseudomonas aeruginosa (L12) in immobilised condition. It was found that immobilized cells performed superiorly than free cells. In particular, calcium alginate immobilised cells were more efficient in LAS removal than polyvinyl alcohol immobilised cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
