The research successfully achieved its four primary objectives: isolating and identifying B. subtilis from contaminated soil through standard microbiological techniques, confirming the bacterium''s hydrocarbon degradation ability, assessing its degradation potential on oil-contaminated soil, and evaluating influencing factors. One bacterial isolate (Is1) was successfully characterized through cultural, morphological, and biochemical tests, confirming its identity as Bacillus subtilis with favorable characteristics, including spore formation and motility. Spectrophotometric analysis over 12 days demonstrated significant biodegradation potential, with the isolated strain achieving progressive oil degradation from 23.67% (Day 3) to 40.83% (Day 12), displaying the bidirectional characteristics. This represents the first documented evidence of B. subtilis biodegradation potential for oil contamination in this specific region, the 40.83% degradation efficiency demonstrating competitive performance that validates the use of indigenous bacterial strains for sustainable bioremediation applications, thereby establishing a scientific foundation for developing community-based environmental restoration strategies tailored to Niger Delta conditions....Preview Download Preview +Other Microbiology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Isolation and identification of microbes associated with spoilage bread»Bacterial analysis of urine polluted environment in federal polytechnic Nekede, Owerri»Microbiological quality of palm kernel fruits»Microbiological evaluation of home made grape juice»Therapeutic potential of Moringa Oleifera leaves»Antibacterial activity of honey on staphylococcus aureusescherichia coli and streptococcus pyogen isolated from wound»Phytochemical screening and antimicrobial assessment of Spondias Mombin (Ijikara)»Bacteriological monitoring of abattoirs in Ehime Mbano in Imo state»Proximate, selected vitamins, and minerals analysis of Moringa Oleifera»Biodeterioration of natural and artifical stone»The effect of crude avocado and pawpaw leaves extract on kidney function of guinea pigs»Isolation and characterization of fungi associated with the spoilage of corn grown in farms in Rukpokwu community»Microbial examination of raw meat obtained at main abattoir, Offa»Isolation and identification of bacterial aerosols bioaerosols dump sites in Yenagoa»Incidence of staphylococcus and salmonella species in Kunuaya retailed in Yenagoa
