Implementing Fatty-Lignocellulose Sawdust to Bioremediate an Oil Spill and the Enhancement it Produces

Sapna Singh

The treatment of oil spills utilising weights of modified lignocellulose sawdust is the topic of the current paper. On the surface of the sawdust, crude oil sorption was discussed. In Saryaqos, Al-kanakah, and Mustorud, Egypt, 19 crude oil-degrading bacterial isolates were isolated from an oil-polluted environment. On crude oil hydrocarbons, four bacterial species displayed the predominated growth rate. The impact of sawdust weight on the bacterial breakdown of the crude oil sample was examined. After 5 days, the biodegradation potential was assessed. After 5 days of biological treatment, a total of 65 to 80% of the oil had been eliminated from the microcosms. Gas Chromatographic examination of the crude oil still present in the culture medium revealed that isoparaffins degraded more quickly than n-paraffins. The increased weight of fatty sawdust at 0.5 g and BI1, BI4, and a bacterial consortium of four bacterial isolates individually in microcosms containing biosurfactants. The outcome demonstrates that these bacterial strains can be employed for bioremediation in oil-polluted areas utilising modified sawdust.
