The Degradation Potential of Naphthalene by Postbiotic of lactobacillus casei Strain Shirota

Abstract

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are ubiquitous in the environment. Its potential as highly toxigenic and carcinogenic has been reported in previous study and recent study has found out the potential of PAH to be degraded as a way in removing these compounds from environment, food and others. Probiotics has been investigated by many studies on its ability to degrade or/and detoxify PAHs and reported to have the potential as PAHs degrade. However, the use of postbiotic as PAHs degrade remains scarce.
