Screening And Identification Of Vegetable Oil Degrading Microorganisms
ABSTRACT
Vegetable oils embedded in soil
samples and Avuvu Akwu collected from oil-producing areas were examined for six
bacteria and five fungi were isolated from the samples. Among the bacterial
isolates are members of the genera: Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Proteus, Staphylococcus,
Lactobacillus and Achromobacter. Amongst the fun gal isolates are Penicillium,
A. spergillus, Cladosporium, Geotrichum and Saccharomyces spp. Aspergillus occurred
more frequently while penicIlium was the next frequently isolated fungus. bacillus
predominated in the two samples. Evaluation of the ability of the micro
organisms to cause degradation showed that all the fungal isolates were capable
of growing on and utilizing the soil as sole carbon and energy source.
