Biodegradation of Petrochemicals by Microorganisms Isolated From Garage Soil of Gwalior Area
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Bioremediation functions basically on biodegradation, which may refer to complete mineralization of organic contaminants into carbon dioxide, water, inorganic compounds, and cell protein or transformation of complex organic contaminants to other simpler organic compounds by biological agents like microorganisms. Many microorganisms are present in water and soil are capable of degrading hydrocarbon contaminants. This paper presents an overview of petrochemicals degradation by microorganisms. This work was carried out to determine the microbial flora of soils contaminated with used petrochemicals in Gwalior. Soil samples were collected from different mechanic workshops of Gwalior city. Isolated bacteria belong to genus Bacillus and Pseudomonas from soil samples showed optimum growth in presence of hydrocarbons like petrol. These isolates can be applied for the bioremediation of petrochemical hydrocarbons including waste water, which would ultimately lead in making eco-friendly.
