TWEEN 65 is a fatty acid polyoxyethylene ester of sorbitan.

Application

TWEEN 65 has been used in a study as a carbon source for the reductive dechlorination of hexachlorobenzene in a mixed, methanogenic culture. It has also been used in a study to investigate its ability to stimulate growth of the hypocotyl of Amaranthus caudatus L.

Three structurally-related, nonionic, polysorbate surfactants (Tween 60, 61, and 65) were used as the sole carbon source to sustain the microbial, sequential reductive dechlorination of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in a mixed, methanogenic culture derived from a contaminated estuarine sediment. The surfactants
