Application

2,2,4,4,6,8,8-Heptamethylnonane was used to study the effects of loading and aging pyrene in soils. It was also used to study its long term effect on the cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) of a hexane-degrading Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain and a toluene-degrading Pseudomonas putida strain.
