Validation of degradation using predicted optimum conditions (at temperature of 32.5°C, pH of 9, 12.5 of salinity, and 12.5 ml of inoculum size). From left the Media Control (FSM-ASW), Positive Control (FSM-ASW + 2% CO), and Test (FSM-ASW + 2%CO + PM-1 bacterial isolate) on 15th day of incubation time.
