Abstract:

Research was carried out on Isolation and Study of Biodegradation Capability of Hydrocarbanoclastic Bacteria from Waste Engine Oil Impacted Soils of Auto Nagar, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. Soil samples are collected from the waste engine oil contaminated sites of Auto Nagar, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. Soil samples was enriched with BH medium and bacterial cultures were isolated (GAS1, GAS2, GAS3, GAS4, GAS5) and purified using MS medium and tested their ability to degrade various hydrocarbons (Petrol, Diesel, Paraffin oil, Benzene, Toluene, Turbine oil, Heavy machinery oil) using DCPIP method. The isolates were found satisfactory in degrading hydrocarbons among the all isolate GAS3 was more potential in degrading provided all hydrocarbons.  GAS3 was selected to study the degradation of various hydrocarbons using Gravimetric analysis results showed that high potential in degradation of hydrocarbons with 90% of Turbine oil, 88%   of Paraffin oil, 85% heavy machinery oil, 70% of diesel, 59% of petrol, 38% of benzene, 30% of toluene respectively. Based on the morphology potential isolate was identified as gram-negative bacterium.
