Biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbon polluted soil

Indian Journal of Microbiology Research, 2020
Crude oil contributes a major percentage to the source of energy used on earth, however, hydrocarbon components have been classified to the family of carcinogens and neurotoxic organic pollutants. The inappropriate drilling, transportation, and usage lead to the increment of soil, air, and water body petroleum hydrocarbon pollution.
