Abstract
Aims: To isolate, characterize and identify surfactant degrading bacteria from selected rivers in Akure, Nigeria and also to compare and quantify the biodegrading potentials of each of the bacterial isolates. Place of Study: Akure metropolis, Ondo state, Nigeria, between June and November, 2013. Methodology: Surfactant degrading bacteria were isolated from the water samples by supplementing culture media with test surfactant. The bacteria isolated were later subjected to the alkylsulphatase enzyme assay to quantify their various enzyme production/activity. Results: The total bacterial load of the water samples range from 7.20±0.69 x10 3 cfu/ml to 40.0±2.31 x10 3 cfu/ml, while the surfactant degrading bacteria counts was within the range of 3.30±0.02 x10 2 cfu/ml to 5.37±2.3 x10 3 cfu/ml. Pseudomonas putida and Exiguobacterium alkylsulphatase surfactant degrading
