Research work deals with two aspects, firstly collection of diesel polluted soil samples from various petrol-diesel bunks from Solapur, secondly it deals with the laboratory work which includes culturing and sub-culturing to get pure culture of micro-organisms from soil sample, and study regarding characterization and degradation of hydrocarbons. Gram staining, sugar fermentation, biochemical and IMVIC test were carried out on isolated micro-organism which revealed the isolated micro-organisms were from Bravibacterium spp., Streptococcus spp., Bacillus spp., Enterobacter spp. Research work indicates that these isolates were capable to degrade hydrocarbons like diesel, anthracene, naphthalene and benzene.
