Hydrocarbon biodegradation by Proteus and Serratia strains isolated from oil-polluted water in Bonny Community, Niger Delta, Nigeria

Two indigenous hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria strains, designated as TKZ and QGR were isolated in oil rich Niger Delta of Nigeria. Determination of the nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding 16S rRNA allowed TKZ and QGR to be identified as Proteus vulgaris and Serratia marcescens. Hydrocarbon degr...
