<br/><br/> Soil and sludge samples polluted with petroleum waste from cairo oil refining company Mostorod, Elqalyubiah, Egypt for more than 41 years were used for isolation of indigenous microbial communities. These communities were grown on seven polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds. Six isolates (MAM - 26, 29, 43, 62, 68, 78) were able to grow on different concentrations of five chosen PAHs. The best degraders bacterial isolates MAM - 29 and MAM - 62 were identified by 16S - rRNA
