| description | Heterocyclic hydrocarbons are widely distributed in soils and sediments, groundwater,
atmosphere, and marine environment. They are very stable organic compounds that persist
in environment for long period of time. The presence of heterocyclic hydrocarbon in the
seawater due to the industrial process and spillage of petroleum causes the pollution to the
marine environment and may affect human health. Bioremediation is one of the solutions
to degrade the heterocyclic hydrocarbon. It involves the activity of microorganisms that
oxidizes the aromatic ring of the heterocyclic hydrocarbon and degrades it. The degrading
bacteria that isolated from the seawater are useful to clean up the heterocyclic hydrocarbon
in seawater. This study aims to isolate heterocyclic hydrocarbon degrading bacteria from
the coast of Sarawak. Five bacteria were isolated and characterized via biochemical tests
and molecular technique. The degradation ability of the isolated bacteria was determined
by testing the chemical properties for each bacterium. The result shows that the isolated
bacteria may play some role in heterocyclic hydrocarbon degradation. |
