Abstract
⺠Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons degrading Streptomyces sp. ERI-CPDA-1 was isolated. ⺠The degradation efficiencies ranged from 98.25% for diesel oil in 7 days at 30 °C. ⺠99.14% for naphthalene and 17.5% for phenanthrene in 7 days at 30 °C. ⺠Metabolic pathway was also worked out for naphthalene degradation. ⺠This isolate can be exploited for the development of biodegradation agent.
