Abstract

This research work is designed to evaluate the capacity of the bacterial species, Pseudomonas putida in bioremediating and biodegrading of hydrocarbons which are the major constituents of petroleum oil. The bacterial species was checked in the laboratory condition, in order to determine and test for its capabilities in bioremediation process in oil spills. The total counts and cfu of the bacterial species result were carried out after first and second weeks of inoculation, and was found to be significant. Solvent extraction method was primarily used to determine the percentage of oil. The Pseudomonas putida degraded 6.425% of the oil after two weeks. The results showed that Pseudomonas putida has the capabilities of degrading and bioremediating hydrocarbons contaminants from water bodies. Bioremediation is advantageous due to its time and cost saving than physical method, also unlike chemical method; no foreign or toxic chemicals are added to the site.
