Abstract excerpt
A total of 96 crude oil-degrading bacterial strains were isolated from 5 geographically diverse sites in India that were contaminated with different types of petroleum hydrocarbons. The strains were identified by sequencing the genes that encode for 16S rRNA. Out of the 96 isolates, 25 strains were identified as Acinetobacter baumannii and selected for the study. All of the selected strains could degrade the...
