Abstract
Bioremediationisoneofthecurrentapproachesinenvironmentalmicrobiologyor
isolates were evaluated using hydrocarbon supplemented modified mineral basal medium and

pollutants. Microorganisms, typically bacteria that have particular metabolic capacities, are
ex situ degradative potentials of Micrococcus species isolated from kerosenepolluted site using
hydrocarbon degrading bacteria using a modified mineral basal medium. The bacterial isolates
characteristics. The hydrocarbon adaptation utilization potentials of the bacterial isolates were
spectrophotometric method. Soil sediments were collected from different points at local
environmental biotechnology that has been exercised for the reduction removal of hydrocarbon
essential for the biodegradation of hydrocarbon pollutants. This study was undertaken to assess
kerosene retail site located at Umuaku Uli. The samples were analyzed for the presence of
evaluated using spectrophotometric method. The biodegradative potentials of the bacterial
spectrophotometer.
