Marine waters are
the receivers of many wastes from different sources such as food waste, raw
material extraction, recreational use, waste disposal and transportation.
In addition to
this ship trafficking and industry releases enormous amounts of oil and grease
to waters. The aim of the present study was to isolate bacterial
strain from marine waters of Visakhapatnam coastal area in order to a
strain suitable for the degradation of oil and grease.
Many bacterial
strains were isolated including Aeromonas hydrophilia, Bacillus cereus,
Bacillus subtiles, Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus. The
results showed that the degradation of oil and grease was possible by the
application of extracted bacterial isolates.
