dc.description.abstractThe environmental threat of anthracene to humans on exposure through industrial effluent discharged and other combustion activities into the environment with expensive nature of the physical and chemical remediation techniques initiates this research. The kinetics of degradation of anthracene by the activity of Corynebacterium sp and Pseudomonas putida for the liberation of the anthracene contaminated water was aim to be investigated. The enriched inoculums of Corynebacterium sp and Pseudomonas putida was separately inoculated into anthracene contaminated water at room temperature of 280C under an optimum pH of 7.2 for 96hours, thereby decreased the anthracene content in the water. About 95.2% of anthracene was degraded by Corynebacterium sp while about 93.5w/w% of anthracene was degraded by Pseudomonas putida. The biodegradation kinetics parameter evaluated indicates that both Corynebacterium sp and Pseudomonas putida were favourable for bioremediation of anthracene contaminated water but Corynebacterium sp was preferred due to higher proportion of anthracene utilized.
