Growth Dynamics of Bacteria Isolated from Spent Engine Oil Contaminated Tropical Soil
Sites contaminated with spent oil in Canaan land Ota Nigeria were screened for the presence of spent oil degrading bacteria. The method of continual enrichment on the spent oil yielded five pure cultures that were selected for further physiological studies. From the morphological and biochemical characterization and comparison with respect to the standard references, the isolates were most...
