Interaction Between Typha domingensis and Bacteria Bacillus sp. to Treatment of Wastewater Polluted by Kerosene

Abstract Water pollution with Kerosene is considered as a serious environmental problem in Basrah. Typha domingensis was used to treat kerosene-contaminated water the construction wetland system. The Isolated bacteria most efficient degradation Kerosene. Bacteria isolated from contaminated by hydrocarbons of four stations Basrah, these isolates were tested show efficiency degrading be phytoremediation contamination hydrocarbons. Twelve bacterial identified Bacillus sp. (B11) oil based on phytotoxicity test. experiment conducted for 72 days two glass basins containing 5% kerosene concentration T. . Isolate added test interaction plant and ponds without pollutant control basin free pollutant, temperature between (20.6-36.2)°C, dissolved oxygen (2.5-7.4) mg / L. rate removal bacteria, only (76.5%), (81.9)%, (74.1%), (57.4) respectively.
