A Lab Simulation of a Potential Egyptian Bacterial Ensemble for the Recovery of an Oil Spill

Lucky Yadav

The goal of the project was to develop an oil degrading bacteria that would be very effective when utilized alone or in a bacterial consortium to treat oil spills. By using GC-MS, the consortium influence on crude oil was investigated. After 7 days, the consortium had only decomposed 80% of the crude oil, compared to 99.2% for Enterobacter sp. ASH as an isolated culture. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, morphological, physiological and biochemical characterization, this strain was identified. The results of an ANOVA study indicated that the significant variables are medium volume and crude oil concentration. According to the findings, the mixed consortium was more capable of biodegrading than Enterobacter sp. ASH.
