<regulartext> In this project, we decided to focus on the biodegradation of Naphthalene. Naphthalene is an environmental contaminant that can be formed in industrial processes. Naphthalene is a polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and is considered to be a potential carcinogen(1) . This chemical is a good target for bioremediation and can be broken down by the NAH7 operon of the P. putida. bacteria. </regulartext> | <regulartext> In this project, we decided to focus on the biodegradation of Naphthalene.
