Molecular Characterisation and Plasmid Profiling of Hydrocarbon Utilizing Bacteria Isolates from Wetlands in Rivers State, Southern Nigeria

D. N. Ogbonna, P. M. Chibuike & J. O. Williams · Microbiology Research Journal International · 2021

Wetlands can intercept runoff from surfaces prior to reaching open water and remove pollutants through physical, chemical, and biological processes thereby protecting and preserving the environment.  Because of unsustainable oil exploration activities, most wetlands in Rivers Sta...
