dc.description.abstract	Present study consists the potential ability of microorganisms present on clam (Meretrixmeretrix) shells to degrade diesel. Counts of crude oil degrading bacteria in oil polluted soil fortified with Meretrixmeretrix shells were higher than that of unfortified soil. Microorganism isolated from the Meretrixmeretrix shells was found to be Bacillus subtilis, which is seen to have potent lipase activity, thus capable of degrading diesel and releasing carbon dioxide. This study show that clam, Meretrixmeretrix shells efficiently degrade diesel and can help in bioremediation of oil polluted regions.	en_US
