Biodegradation of hydrocarbon sludge by pseudomonas sp.strain UPM-KV

Ahydrocarbon-utilizing microorganism isolated locallywas characterized and investigated. This study involved standard biochemical tests and investigation of the bacterial growth based on the uptake of carbon and nitrogen source, temperature and optimum pH growth. The bacterium was foun...
