Abstract

The study examines the potential of bioremediation technologies to clean up oil spills in order to minimize the environmental pollution. The microorganism was isolated from an oil contaminated soil sample. The growth of this organism was observed to be maximum in Bushnell-Haas media containing 15% diesel at pH 7 within 3 days at 37 °C. The properties of this treated diesel was tested and compared with the untreated diesel. The experiment was also carried out for other petroleum fractions like Vacuum Gas Oil (VGO), Cycle Oil and Lube Oil.
