Monitoring The Hydrocarbon Utilizing Bacteria in Crude Oil Remediation Using Bio-Stimulant of Mint Leaf (Mentha Piperita)
Abstract: Conceptual monitoring of hydrocarbon utilization bacteria on crude oil remediation using bio-stimulant of mint leaf (Mentha piperita) was investigated. The bio-stimulant nutrient was determined by considering the available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria presence in both room and sun-dried samples of the remediant used. The mint leaf (Mentha piperita) was processed to obtain the powder form (nano particle size) of the bio-stimulant and the microbes isolated and identified …

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 …
