Biodegradation of Kerosene by Soil Bacterial Species from Contaminated Site.

Biodegradation of Kerosene by Soil Bacterial Species from Contaminated Site.

~ 95e74a26a082ae5b1349894748d18a73.200x200
In this study, we investigated the use of indigenous bacterial species from contaminated site to degrade kerosene. The method of continual enrichment on kerosene, yielded bacterial isolates with potential of utilizing kerosene as growth substrates. The time course studies monitored by the optical density (OD) and pH fluxes of the pure cultures in varying concentrations of kerosene resulted in...
