ABSTRACT
The study was designed to evaluate the capability of bacterial strains
to degrade oil under in vitro conditions. Two mechanic workshops
within Lucknow were selected for collecting two different samples
from each site. One isolate showed complete oil degradation
capability within seven days incubation period. The results tend to
perform certain characterization tests. In order to check expression of
oil degrading gene, plasmid was isolated and transformed to E. coli
cells.
Keywords: E. coli, Degradation, Crude oil.
