Effect of Nitrogen Sources on Crude Oil Utilization by Mangrove Bacterial Strains
Batch experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of nitrogen source on biodegradation of crude oil by hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria isolated from Eagle Island mangrove ecosystem of Niger Delta, Nigeria. The organisms were identified as Pseudomonas sp. MW3 and Bacillus sp. SD4. The ability of the organisms to solubilize crude oil was ind...
