Petroleum products are used for energy production and an essential part of our day-to-day lives especially in vehicles, ships, and industries. Accidental leakages occur easily and wastage petroleum is also discarded in the environment without any further processing causing environmental pollution. Diesel contributea big part topetroleum pollution. The current study was aimed to identify diesel degrading bacteria and determine some conditions to evaluate their best degradation capability. We identified Aeromonas spp., Bacillus spp., and Enterobacter spp. from diesel contaminated soil and found that Aeromonas spp. and Bacillus spp. grow best with 10% to 15% diesel whereas Enterobacter spp. can grow quite well with 20% diesel concentration at a higher temperature (40oC) than the previous two bacteria. Aeromonas spp. worked well at low pH (pH 4 to pH 6) whereas Bacillus spp. and Enterobacter spp. worked best at higher pH (pH 10).

Proteases are the largest group of enzymes that have a wide variety of industrialapplications in detergent, leather industry, pharmaceutical industry and bioremediation processes. In the current study, processed water from Pallavaramleather industry (Chennai & Tamilnadu) was used for isolation of organisms producing protease. Bacillus spp and Serratia spp were isolated on 0.5% casein minimal media. The presence of protease was confirmed by paper chromatography and estimated by ninhydrin method. The protease activity of Bacillus species was high at the temperature of 60oC, pH 9 and the concentration was found to be 280mg/100ml, whereas the activity of protease for Serratia species was high at the temperature of 40oC, pH 5 and at concentration of 240mg/100ml. The highest concentration at which the activity of protease was maximum was 2 % for both the organisms. The protease enzyme used for the blood stain removal and degradation of outer gelatin layer of X‐ray films was good however chicken feather degradation was less.
