description |
Microbial degradation of spilled oil is one of the major routes of the natural removal of contaminants from the environment. Biodegradation gradually destroy oil spills by the help of microorganisms. In the present work the indigenous microorganisms from the oil contaminated area were isolated. Contaminant compounds transformed by these isolates through reactions that take place as a part of their metabolic process were studied. The result of the present study showed the bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soils, which exploits the ability of micro organisms to degrade and/or detoxify organic contaminations.
