Relative Bioremediation of Used engine oil Contaminated soil from an Industrialised area by Various microbes

[...]the present investigation has been undertaken to study the biodegradation of engine oil in the Chrompet, since it is one of the industrialized, crowded and mobilizing of abundant of automobiles region. [...]totally two bacterial isolates vizBacillus sp and Staphylococcussp; one actinomycetes isolate i.e. Streptomycessp were identified. [...]Mineral salt medium (MSM), Potato Dextrose Agar and Actinomycetes agar enriched with engine oil as the carbon source of hydrocarbon degrading microbes was performed in the present study. [...]the slightly constant growth rate during the biodegradation period and reasonable variations in isolated strains may well be conducive to biodegradation potential.
