ABSTRACT

 Bacterial and fungal isolates were obtained from effluents at three different palm oil mills in Ahia State. The bacterial isolates were identified to the generic levels as Bacillus sp, Staphylococcus sp, Pseudomonas sp, Proteus, Escherichia sp and Micrococcus sp while fungi were also identified to the generic level as Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillin and Saccharomyces, The bacteria were found to utilize different hydrocarbons (crude oil, diesel oil, kerosene, gasoline) to various degrees using three parameters(pH, total viable counts and optical density)It was also observed that all POME bacterial grew well in media containg in with gasoline and kerosene as sole sources of carbon while only Bacillus, Pseudomonas and Streptococcus spp were able to grow well in diesel oil and crude oil-containing media. For the I4-day test, bacterial growth was reduced after the sixth day in diesel oil and crude oil and after the 14 111 day and on the 10 day in the other hydrocarbons depending on the organism It was concluded that bacterial isolates from POME can utilize different hydrocarbons and temperature for 14 days. Not all of the organisms utilized hydrocarbons at the same rate and time and because of their different spectrurns of activity, only heterotrophic bacteria can utilize hydrocarbons as sole source of carbon for biomass and energy production ..
