Classification of bacterial isolates of the Jordanian oil refinery petroleum sludge

Significant of Indigenous Identified Microbes on Oily Sludge Treatment

“…Different studies reported that bacterial consortia prepared from microorganisms isolated from natural Oil sludge habitat are able to degrade and metabolize hydrocarbon aerobically and TPH degrading rate was enhanced. 1,4 Other study showed resemblance of isolated microorganism from natural oil sludge habitat to the genus Bacillus 30 although, further confirmatory tests are still required to support similarity. 1,24 However, the effect of such consortia on hydrocarbon degradation estimated by measuring TPH removal rate was reported 1,4,30 There are still other factors to be considered for better degradation rate such as toxicity which has significant role on biodegradation 1,2 and on TPH % removal.…”

[1][2][3][4] The role in this review is to illustrate the significance of preparing consortia of identified isolated organism which exhibit high percentage similarity matrix in term of morphological and biochemical to known genus or even species .…”
