𝑃 represents degradation of hydrocarbon without amendment of biofilm (only planktonic).
𝐵^𝐿 represents degradation of hydrocarbon with amendment of biofilm (planktonic + biofilm).
*Represents overall degradation of all the hydrocarbon considering the total area of control and samples under different conditions.
