Morphological and Biochemical Characterization of Bio-surfactants Producing Bacteria from Diesel Contaminated Soil

Morphological and Biochemical Characterization of Bio-surfactants Producing Bacteria from Diesel Contaminated Soil

Two soil bacteria designated as S1 and S2 were isolated from diesel-contaminated soil in Covenant University, Nigeria. Characterization (morphologically and biochemically) and comparison of the isolates with standard reference suggests they were Bacillus (S1) and Pseudomonas (S2) species. These bacterial species were screened for biosurfactant production potentials using: drop collapse test,...
