| Abstract | Biodegradation of harmful chemicals is of paramount importance for keeping a clean environment. Anthracene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with a significant pollution potential and health risk. Because of its relative toxicity it has been utilized as a model for PAHs degradation investigations. Endophytic and rhizospheric bacteria can degrade PAHs like anthracene, which is a time/cost-effective method for eco-restoration. Therefore, techniques to eradicate this contaminant from the environment are urgently needed. In this study, the possible degrading ability of anthracene by Proteus sp. Strain, BTE_BCH from Nigeria was assessed using the one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) technique. Mineral Salt Medium was used to culture the bacterium augmented with anthracene as its only energy and carbon source, at an optimum temperature of 35?C, pH 7.5, inoculum size of 400 ?L and 400 mg/L substrate concentration, after 72 h incubation time. In addition, the bacterium can tolerate 2 mg/L Cu, Hg, Fe, Cr, Zn, Cd, Ni, Pb and As. The bacterium was able to degrade 97.5% anthracene after 72 h incubation. This data could be beneficial for optimizing anthracene biodegradation environmental factors; most importantly in the cleanup of anthracene-polluted areas. Furthermore, this study revealed that Proteus sp. strain BTE_BCH might be used to biodegrade anthracene-contaminated soil since it is less expensive, easier, eco-friendly and non-pathogenic. |
