Crude oil utilizing bacteria was isolated from crude-oil contaminated soil (COCS) and tested for their ability to degrade COCS. Fifty strains were isolated, purified and monitored on agar plated for their growth. Twenty strains selected for the second monitoring in shake flask using minimal salt med...
