Comparative Analysis of the Impact of Crude Oil and Kerosene on Soil Microbiota and the Bio-utilization Potentials of the Indigenous Microorganisms

F. C. Akubuenyi · Journal of Advances in Microbiology · 2022

This research is focused on evaluating the impact of crude oil and kerosene on soil microbiota. The enumeration of total heterotrophic bacterial count revealed that the soil impacted with crude oil and kerosene yielded low microbial counts ranged from 3.2 × 106 CFU/g, 3.2 × 105 t...
