| Petroleum degrading microorganisms have been isolated from different environments with the purpose of being used in bioremediation processes in areas impacted by petroleum spills. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of Bacillus toyonensis AM07 strain to metabolize petroleum compounds. The strain was isolated from the effluent dike of the Urucu Petroleum Province, Coari - Amazonas, Brazil. The degrading activity of B. toyonensis was evaluated by the colorimetric method using the redox indicator 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP). Thus, the microorganism was inoculated into minimal medium with DCPIP, and with petroleum as the sole carbon source. The degradation potential of the microorganism was found by changing the DCPIP staining and... |
