crude oil contaminated groundwater, wastewater aeration pond and biopond at the oil refinery
Terengganu Malaysia. Among four isolates that showed good growth only three different isolates
(Acinetobacter faecalis WD2, Staphylococcus. sp DD3 and Neisseria elongate TDA
4.) were selected
based on the growth ability and degradation. Significant growth and effectiveness of hydrocarbon
biodegradation of the bacterial consortium examined bacterial strains and their mixtures in both were
observed after 5, 10 and 15 days of degradation. Gas chromatography showed that more than 96 and
98% degradation of total hydrocarbon by consortia sp respectively.
