Experimental modeling was carried out using statistical design of experiments. At optimum conditions maximum of 83.13, 78.06 and 69.92 WCO removals were observed for 2, 16 and 30 g/kg initial oil concentrations, respectively. Significant variations in the crude oil degradation pattern were observed with respect to oil, nutrient and microorganism contents. Crude oil bioremediation were successfully described by a first-order kinetic model. The study indicated that the rate of hydrocarbon biodegradation increased with decrease of crude oil concentrations. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. date: 2010 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Mohajeri, L. and Aziz, H.A. and Isa, M.H. and Zahed, M.A. and Mohajeri, S.
