Abstract: The performance of designed specific bacteria isolate comprising of bacillus pumlllus pseudomonas aerruginosa and Brevibacterium spp in terms of their reduction capability and degrading activities of the bacteria were studied.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to isolate some autochthonous bacteria from niche area sol and investigate their capability to degrade the components in the wastewater.
Materials and Methods: Fifty soil samples were collected from different sites from niche area along Oyun river in Ilorin East Local Government of Kwara State, and analyzed for the presence of Bacteria strain.
The media used in this research were nutrient broth and agar. Bacteria strains were identified by their morphological and biochemical characteristics. The reduction of sewage wastewater weight and degrading properties of pseudomona aeuraginosa. Bacillus Pumillus and brevibacterium spp were examined.
Results: The identified Bacteria strain included Brevibacterium spp (86.6%), pseudomona aeuroginosa (9.6%), and B.pumilus (3.6%). Evaluation of morphological physiological and Biochemical activity of the designed consortia was carried out against three different bacteria. Acid production tests indicated that this bacterium capable to utilize the citrate and hydrolyze casein catalase, and oxidase positive. The Bacterium growth rate ranges from 25 to 45oC.
Conclusions: This study indicated that some autochthonous Bacteria have the potential to degrade sewage wastewater which can be used to enriched soil fertility.
