Abstract


Research conducted on the performance of bacterial on crude oil degradation using Moringa and Neem roots extract in different soils environment is well showcase in this study. The result obtained from the investigation revealed increase in total bacterial population in the entire different soils environment. The microbial growth was more on the fermented Moringa root extract subjected into the water medium followed by Neem roots in the same water medium, revealing the significance of the favourable medium in growing microbes for effective remediation of contaminated environment. The experimental studies reveals the influence of the physicochemical parameters of the crude oil, soil and the environment as a contributing factors in the variation in the exponential phase growth of the different organisms present in the bio-gradation of the crude oil using Moringa and Neem roots extract. This research work demonstrates that water medium is found useful in culturing microbes for effective remediation of contaminated environment.


Keywords
