Abstract:
Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the most hazardous compounds which damage the environment and human health. They are released from various industries, mechanical workshops and oil refineries. Naphthalene is one the prominent hazardous polyaromatic compounds. Bioremediation which uses microbes for cleaning up the environment is the most suitable method for the removal of PAHs. In the present study oil contaminated soils of four mechanical workshops were processed in the laboratory for the isolation of naphthalene degrading bacteria. Fourteen bacteria were isolated and identified till genus level. Eight bacterial isolates were identified as Bacillus, three were Micrococcus and another three were identified as Pseudomonas species.
