Description 877-881
Present study consists
the potential ability of microorganisms present on clam (Meretrixmeretrix)
shells to degrade diesel. Counts of crude oil degrading bacteria in oil
polluted soil fortified with Meretrixmeretrix shells were higher than
that of unfortified soil. Microorganism isolated from the Meretrixmeretrix shells
was found to be Bacillus subtilis, which is seen to have potent lipase
activity, thus capable of degrading diesel and releasing carbon dioxide. This
study show that

clam, Meretrixmeretrix
shells efficiently degrade diesel and can help in bioremediation of oil
polluted regions.
