Molecular study on thermotollerant bacteria that degraded nitroarmatic compoundsr

Abstract:

The main aim of this study was isolating and identifying thermophilic bacteria capable of utilizing aromatic hydrocarbon that form part of petroleum components. For this purpose (95) hydrocarboncontaminated
soil samples were collected from different places in Basrah and Baghdad. Fourty eight bacterial isolates that utilize crude oil were isolated. Thirty eight mesophilic bacterial isolates showed good ability to grow on
