Abstract

A bacterial strain was isolated from petroleum contaminated soil of Mathura. Total 5 soil samples were collected and 20 diesel-oil degrading bacteria were isolated. On the basis of different biodegradation capabilities of different bacterial species, Pseudomonas stutzeri DBT15 was selected using 2,6 dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP) assays. The biodegradation potential was evaluate by gravimetric method and residual oil was analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis. 96.18% of degradation was observed for M15 bacterial strain in 35 days of incubation by gravimetric analysis. Molecular characterization was performed by 16S rRNA nucleotide sequencing and it was identified as Pseudomonas stutzeri DBT15 strain.

Keywords

GC-MS, Pseudomonas stutzeri, 2,6 dichlorophenol indophenols
