Data for "Enhancing the biodegradation of hydrophobic volatile organic compounds: A study on microbial consortia adaptation and the role of surfactants"

This dataset contains the experimental data underlying the research study on the biodegradation of hydrophobic Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in a Stirred Tank Bioreactor (STBR). The study evaluates the long-term impact of adding non-ionic surfactants (Tween 80) and biological surfactants (Saponin) on the removal efficiency of Cyclohexane, Toluene, and Hexane, as well as the adaptation of microbial consortia. The dataset is organized into processed files covering continuous bioreactor operation, batch kinetic tests, and carbon balance analysis.
