THE DOMINANCE OF THE GENERA Myroides AND Proteus WITHIN HYDROCARBON UTILIZING POPULATIONS IN SOME CRUDE OIL-IMPACTED SITES

Chioma Blaise Chikere^*, Gideon Chijioke Okpokwasili

Hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria in environmental samples collected from crude oil impacted sites at Eleme, Rivers State, and five water samples from effluent discharge points at five different flow-stations in Delta State, all in the Niger Delta were isolated using Bushnell Haas agar. Bacterial genera tentatively characterized were Acinetobacter, Al...

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

Anekzue E. C^*, Chioma Blaise Chikere

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 colle...
