Effect of Nitrogen Sources on Crude Oil Utilization by Mangrove Bacterial Strains

Nwanyanwu, C. E^*, Adieze, Ifechukwu E., Nwauzor, A.R.

Batch experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of nitrogen source on biodegradation of crude oil by hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria isolated from Eagle Island mangrove ecosystem of Niger Delta, Nigeria. The organisms were identified as Pseudomonas sp. MW3 and Bacillus sp. SD4. The ability of the organisms to solubilize crude oil was ind...

EFFECT OF PHOSPHATE SOLUBILIZING BACTERIA ON GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS OF MAIZE, BEANS AND GROUNDNUT SEEDLINGS IN POTTED SOIL

Nwanyanwu, C. E^*, Umeh, S.I, Sapele A.

Growth effects of phosphate solubilizing bacterial strains on maize, beans and groundnut seedlings in potted soil samples were investigated. The bacterial strains were isolated from uncultivated agricultural farmland on nutrient agar medium. The isolates were tested for their phosphate solubilizing potential using National Botanical Research In...

ISOLATION AND GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS OF Bacillus sp. SD12 IN MEDIUM CONTAINING MIXTURES OF 4-CHLOROPHENOL AND ZINC

Nwanyanwu, C. E^*, Opurum, C.C., Eze, C.C

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...
