DISTRIBUTION, CHARACTERIZATION AND HYDROCARBON– DEGRADING POTENTIALS OF MICROORGANISMS IN SOME PARTS OF BIDA BASIN, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT The distribution and characterization of a suspected petroleum bearing site (SPBS) is generally called microbial prospecting. Microbial surface prospecting is a vital process in the exploration of hydrocarbon suspected site. This study was aimed at assessing the distribution, characterization and hydrocarbon degrading potentials of microorganisms in some parts of Bida Basin, Nigeria. The study assessed the physicochemical and microbiological properties of soil and water from Ahoko, Kogi State, and ...
