IJBR, Vol. 5, No. 1, P. 41-46https://repository.futo.edu.ng/handle/20.500.14562/1616An article on Biodegradation of pyrene graphs and mathematical formula.The hazardous nature of pyrene have been posed serious threat to humans on exposure through industrial effluent discharged and other combustion activities of petroleum products. The biodegradation of pyrene as a bioremediation method by the activity of Corynebacteria sp and Pseudomonas putida with effectiveness of these microbes was aim to be investigated. The enriched pure culture of Corynebacteria sp and Pseudomonas putida was inoculated into pyrene contaminated water at room temperature of 28ºC with mineral salt medium under an optimum pH of 7.2 for 96 hours, thereby decreased the pyrene concentration in the contaminated water and biodegradation kinetics parameters were evaluated from the experimental results. The result favourable to bothCorynebacteria sp and Pseudomonas putida as pyrene degraders in the contaminated water but Pseudomonas putida was preferred due to higher content of pyrene degraded.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalcorynebacteria sppseudomonas putida and Monod’s kineticsBiomedical technologyBiodegradationpyreneMonod’s kineticsArticle
