Summary, etc. |
<p class="Abstract" style="text-align: justify;">Investigation of enhanced potential of <em>Enterobacter sp</em>. in biodegradation of Bonny light crude oil components, C<sub>17</sub> and C<sub>34</sub> was carried out. Samples of water and sediment were collected from predetermined locations and subjected to microbiological analyses using standard methodologies. Of the 32 potential hydrocarbon-utilizing bacteria isolated from the water and sediment samples that were exposed to crude oil contamination, only one isolate<sub>,</sub><em>Enterobacter sp</em>. (Y<sub>8</sub>ESWS<sub>3</sub>) was found to effectively biodegrade 99.8% of C<sub>17 </sub>and 93% of C<sub>34</sub> of the aliphatic hydrocarbon after 28 days of degradation. Analysis of variance assessed by gas chromatography revealed that bacterial species (<em>P</em>=9.05E-05<0.05) and nature of hydrocarbon fraction (<em>P</em>=8.55E-08<0.05) significantly influence the hydrocarbonoclastic potential. The high growth rate of <em>Enterobacter </em>sp. and its ability to considerably reduce the hydrocarbon component, C<sub>17</sub> and C<sub>34</sub> of Bonny light crude oil makes it, an impressive candidate for consideration in bio – augmentation.</p> |
