This study was conducted to determine phenanthrene and other PAHs degradation activity of <em>Lysinibacillus fusiformis</em> . The biodegradation study was analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID) and the result showed that the isolate was able to degrade 57 %, the rate of degradation was 6.126 mg/l/day, the rate of degradation constant was 0.0085 /day and the half-life was 8.0975 days in the selective medium within days 10. L<em>ysinibacillus fusiformis</em>, ALSL 5 also showed activities on the other PAHs it was tested on. The results revealed that <em>Lysinibacillus fusiformis</em>, ALSL 5 was able to degrade phenanthrene significantly and it could prove to be promising bacteria for bioremediation of PAH-containing pollutant from the contaminated site.</p> ER -
