Microbial degradation is a major determinant of the fate of pollutants in the environment. p-Nitrophenol (PNP) is an EPA-listed priority pollutant with a wide environmental distribution, but little is known about the microorganisms that degrade it in the environment. The effect of different organic nutrient supplements like nitrogen and carbon on the total PNP degradation in polluted soil was studied. In this study the Pseudomonas aeruginosa NP1 was isolated from polluted site used for biodegradation studies. MSM medium used for degradation. study. Nutritional supplements like carbon (glucose, sucrose, fructose, dextrose, lactose, maltose) and nitrogen supplements (ammonium sulphate, ammonium acetate, sodium nitrate, urea, yeast extract) were evaluated for PNP bioremediation. This study has proved that the PNP bioremediation was hasten by addition of supplementary carbon and nitrogen sources in the growth medium to flourish microbial growth. This study may be useful in optimizing biodegradation processes by adding required nutritional supplements in the medium in required concentrations.
