Two nonionic surfactant-degrading bacteria designated as T-1 and B-2 were isolated from the surfactant-polluted water by repeated subculture in liquid medium with Triton X-100 and Brij-35 as the sole carbon and energy source respectively. Strain T-1 and B-2 were identified as Ochrobactrum sp. and Burkholderia, according to their characteristics, shapes, physiochemical and the analyse of the phylogenetical analyses of 16S rDNA sequence. A significant positive relationship was found between bacterial growth and concentration of nonionic surfactant degradation. In a mineral salts medium with 50-1...
