Abstract:- Today bioremediation is considered as the most effective and pollution free method for removing crude oil pollution from contaminated sites, as this method makes use of microorganism. The study was designed to evaluate the capability of bacterial strains inhabiting oil contaminated sites to degrade unused engine oil. Four different bacterial species were isolated from oil contaminated sites in Lucknow. One of the isolate (MJP1103) showed maximum oil degradation potential in Minimal salt media supplemented with 1-5 % crude oil, the result showed increase in growth & protein concentration throughout incubation period for culture MJP1103.
Key words:- Crude oil, Coccus, Degradation, Bioremediation. |
