Identification and characterization of total petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria isolated from inoculum tanks and their potential in bioremediation
Eleven Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH)-degrading bacteria were successfully isolated from six inocula obtained from Seria Crude Oil Terminal (SCOT) plant in Brunei Darussalam using selective enrichment technique. All isolates were cultivated in liquid media with crude oil as the sole carbon and...
