| Summary: | Abstract<br />The isolates have capability to degrade used engine oil was obtained from soil in the beach contaminated<br />with used engine oil. One of the selected isolates TBC 1.2 was identified by its 16s rDNA as Acinetobacter<br />junii. The microorganism can use hydrocarbons in used engine oil as the sole carbon source and energy, also<br />it significantly degraded almost all hydrocarbon compounds in used engine oil. With its ability Acinetobacter<br />junii TBC 1.2 has a potency to be utilized for bioremediation of soil polluted with used engine oil.<br />Keywords : biodegradation, used engine oil, Acenitobacter junii TBC 1.2 |
