ISOLATION AND GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS OF Bacillus sp. SD12 IN MEDIUM CONTAINING MIXTURES OF 4-CHLOROPHENOL AND ZINC
A bacterial strain tolerance to 4-Chlorophenol and Zinc was isolated from sediment of Okrika River that receives effluent from petroleum refinery plant. Out of fifteen (15) bacterial strains isolated, only one of the isolates identified as Bacillus sp. SD12 with highest adhesion to soil (47.4 %) was found to be tolerant to high concentrations o...
