Biodegradation of BTEX by Bacteria Isolated From Soil Contaminated With Petroleum Sludge and Liquid and Solid Petrochemical Effluents

mycolabadmin

Scientists isolated bacteria from oil-contaminated soil that can effectively break down BTEX chemicals, which are toxic pollutants from petroleum products. Two bacterial strains, Arthrobacter pascens and Bacillus sp., proved most effective at degrading these harmful compounds, removing over 80% within 12 days. These findings suggest these bacteria could be used to clean up contaminated sites naturally and cost-effectively.
