Consortia of 4 bacterial and 4 fungal hydrocarbon-utilizing isolates was analyzed in remediation of water
based oil fields. Bio-augmentation experiments (in situ) were tested in 16 triplicates (excluding the control). The results (after two months of bioremediation) showed that; A consortium of isolates of Pseudomonas
fluorescens-LR134300.1 and Aspergillus fumigatus-KU321562 was able to change the pH from strongly alkaline to almost neutral. A consortium of Kocuria rosea-MK648258 and Aspergillus niger-MK452260 isolates showed high biodegradation and high chloride tolerance. A consortium of Pseudomonas fluorescens LR134300.1 and Penicillium chrysogenum-MK696383.1 isolates showed the highest percentage of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) degradation and could degrade/utilize a range of carbon fractions from C6 to C36. A consortium of isolates of Kocuria rosea-MK648258 and Aspergillus flavus-MH270609.1 showed the highest lead-reducing capacity, while Bacillus subtilies-MK000710 and Penicillium chrysogenum
MK696383-KU321. The consortium extracts mineralized petroleum hydrocarbons as the sole source of energy and carbon, with mineralization rates statistically significant (Pandlt;0.05). The results of the Toxicity Characterization Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test showed that treating the drill cuttings with different consortia of bacterial and fungal strains proved to be a desirable disposal method.
