Abstract
⺠Oily sludge is a petrochemical residue classified as Hazardous Waste. ⺠Most components of oily sludge are toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic. ⺠We analyzed the biodegradation capacity of oily sludge by bacterial cultures. ⺠Bacterial isolates presented high saturated and aromatic hydrocarbon degradation. ⺠Bacterial consortium showed potential for application in bioremediation processes.
