among hydrocarbon degrading microorganisms.
In this study, the efficiency of crude oil degradation of
the individual bacterial cultures and the designed bacterial
consortium was determined qualitatively by estimating the
consumed hydrocarbons after biodegradation and by estimating
the dry weight of the three bacterial isolates and their
mixture at the end of the four incubation periods (7, 14, 21,
and 28 days) at 22∘C (Table 1).
