The Impact of Bacteria and Biostimulants on Crude Oil Breakdown in Loamy Soil
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of bacteria and biostimulants—specifically Bryophyllum pinnatum leaves soaked in both water and ethanol—on the degradation of crude oil in loamy soil. A laboratory-scale bioremediation setup was employed using a batch reactor model and first-order degradation kinetics to assess total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) breakdown under controlled conditions. Various analytical tools and procedures, including gas chromatography (Agilent 6890) and microbial media such as nutrient agar and mineral …
