Tolerance, taxonomic and phylogenetic studies of some bacterial isolates involved in bioremediation of crude oil polluted soil in the southern region of Nigeria.

ABSTRACT: Indigenous bacteria play vital roles in the bioremediation of crude oil polluted soils. The effectiveness of the bioremediation process depends on the tolerance, characteristics and biodiversity of the bacteria isolates. Bacteria strains were isolated from crude-oil polluted sites in different locations in the southern region of Nigeria namely: Azikoro and Otukpoti (Bayelsa state); Ologbo and Benin (Edo State) and non-polluted soil was collected from Ibadan (Oyo state). Tolerance study was conducted for 96 h s. Isolation and characterization of the most effective isolate from each location was done using cultural, physico-chemical and molecular methods. The tolerance level of the isolates from the different oil-polluted soils and their comparative growth performance on crude oil supplement
