two bacteria’s were selected for the degradation test. The degradation of diesel engine oil was monitored at a five day interval up to twenty five day period‚ using gravimetric method. After 25 days of incubation period‚ Pseudomonas sp. degraded 67.57 % of the oil and Micrococcus sp. with 52.95 %. But the mixture of Micrococcus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. were found to have great potential to degrade diesel engine oil i.e. 89.98 % after 25 days.
