Abstract:
Petroleum hydrocarbons (PHC) represent one of the main ecological pollutants. The main causes of PHC pollution are Leaks and accidental spills occur regularly during the exploration, production, refining, transport, and storage of petroleum and petroleum products. Bioremediation is the biological process involving living microorganisms to remove contaminants or pollutants from soil or water. It is used to degrade toxic hydrocarbons into harmless products such as organic acids, aldehydes and ultimately carbon dioxide and water. The present study aims to, isolate and screen the diesel oil degrading bacteria from five different study localities like mechanic workshops in and around Madurai District. The concerned six isolates were subsequently confirmed as the degraders of the same of diesel oil in Bushnell Hass medium. Redox indicator 2, 6-dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP) was used to screen for efficient diesel oil degradation by bacteria. Degradation efficiency was measured by optical density at 540nm.
