  By Rathi C R, Thara Pradeep, Prem Jose Vazhacharickal, Sajeshkumar N K

  Abstract: Petroleum pollutants pose a serious and persistent threat to environmental ecosystems, particularly affecting soil and water quality. Effective and sustainable remediation strategies are crucial to mitigate their impact and safeguard environmental health. In this context, bioremediation—using microorganisms to degrade harmful contaminant —emerges as a promising and eco-friendly approach. The present study explores the biodegradation capabilities of the bacterium Priestia megaterium, a species previously recognized for its ability to break down …
