Abstract
In this study, rhizobacteria were isolated from the roots of Scirpus mucronatus grown in diesel-contaminated soil. In a range finding test, microorganisms were isolated from soils contaminated with diesel in concentrations of 0, 10, 20, 100, and 200 g/kg. The number of colonies isolated was 38. After morphological and chemical tests, the number of bacteria colonies isolated was reduced from 38 to 35 bacteria. Of these, 23 bacterial isolates survived on 9 and 15% diesel-spiked mineral salt medium (MSM) after 5 days of exposure. Vitek® 2 Compact (France) identified three species of bacteria that could survive in the diesel-spiked plates, namely, Sphingomonas paucimobilis, Rhizobium radiobacter, andBacillus pumilus. Key words: Rhizobacteria, diesel-tolerant, Scirpus mucronatus, phytoremediation, range finding test.
