Abstract

The present investigation was conducted to isolate, characterize and identify one of the best bio degrader bacterial isolate and to measure its biodegradation capacity. strain VM18 was the isolated bacteria which showed the degradation efficacy of Klebsiella pneumoniae 62.84% after 35 day of incubation in Bushnell Hass medium. GC-MS analysis reveals that, strain VM18 degraded C -th Klebsiella pneumoniae 51C fraction from 2.54% to 1.49% and converted them into C -C after 21 days of incubation. This can be concluded that bacterial strains have 60 31 50 potential to degrade the petroleum hydrocarbons present in contaminated soil environment.
