Determination of Effect of Temperature on Bacteria and Fungi (Salt and Fresh Water)By Uku Eruni Philip, Achinike Okogbule-Wonodi, Okirie Faith Uchendu
Abstract: This study investigates the effect of temperature on bacterial and fungal activity in fresh and saltwater environments contaminated with crude oil. Utilizing standard characterization techniques, pure cultures of bacteria and fungi were isolated and identified. A bioreactor setup was employed to assess microbial growth and heat generation at varying temperatures (15°C to 120°C) over a 6-hour period. The results demonstrated that temperature significantly influences microbial activity, with bacterial growth rates …
