Abstract
It is widely known that petroleum hydrocarbons constitute one of the most hazardous pollutants that affect human and environmental health. The ongoing research on bioremediation with petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria has shown tremendous promise of the technology due to its advantages of high efficiency and eco-friendly nature. To this end, studies have been carried out to identify a large amount of bacterial species with petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading ability for applications in bioremediation. Here, we present a brief perspective of some of the notable advances in oil degrading bacteria and the remedial actions for decontamination of water and soil along with recovering the spilled materials at oil sites.
