A study was conducted in order to decipher the microorganisms from oil contaminated sites for oil degradation abilities. Four used oil degrading Bacterial samples were isolated from oil contaminated sites in Lucknow. One isolate MJH1101 showed maximum oil degradation abilities, only 1 ml oil was recovered out of 25 ml after seven days incubation period and there was a decrease in width of oil layer from 6mm to 1mm after seven days incubation. The isolate was characterized for staining and biochemical activities based on Bergey’s Manual.
