Bacterial Biodegradation of Crudb Petroleum Oil Polluting Water

Eysa Ahmed AbdEl Hamed Shady;

Abstract


The concentrations of Oil-biodegrading bacteria in the Suez Gulf water in Egypt were investigated. Results showed that petroleum biodegrading bacteria are naturally occurring in the Gulf water throughout the year. Concentrations (colonies per liter sea water) were low during winter and high during summer. These organisms were recorded throughout the year of study, indicating oil pollution of water in this area of Suez Gulf.
Nineteen bacterial isolates representing active cultures were studied for

their ability to utilize petroleum oil and its fractions in a synthetic medium. Biodegradation process i.e. Bioremediation was detected by using "Gas-Liquid Chromatography" method. The isolates representing the most active degraders were selected and studied for their ability to degrade petroleum oil and its fractions in a natural sea water medium. The 19 isolates were Pseudomonas (2 spp.), Bacillus (2 spp.), Sporolactobacillus (1 spp.), Kurthia gibsonii (1 spp.) & Actinomycetes (Nocardia (2 spp.).
