DIVERSITY OF POLYAROMATIC HYDROCARBON UTILIZING MICROBES IN AN ABANDONED CRUDE OIL POLLUTED FARMLAND

Polvcyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are hydrophobic organic compounds known to he highly toxic and recalcitrant in the environment and are present in hydrocarbon contaminated soil and sediment. This study was investigated to selectively ascertain the prevalence of anthracence utilizing microbes in a chronically polluted site. Samples were c...
