Efficiency comparison of Enterobacter cloacae and Saccharomyces boulardii in biodegradation of crude oil in water

Abstract

AbstractSeeking new effective crude oil-degrading microorganisms was the aim of this study, wereSaccharomyces boulardiiandEnterobacter cloacaeused separately and as a combination of (bacteria and yeast) in crude oil biodegradation was used and estimated of its degradation by Gas chromatography. The result revealed that the most effective degradation rate was when used the mixture of bacteria (Enterobacter cloacae) and yeast (Saccharomyces boulardii) reached to 60%.
