Abstract
A total of 15 soil samples were collected from five different waste-dumpsites. Standard methods were used to isolate and identify viable bacteria and fungi from the samples. The bacteria isolated from the waste dump soil were Bacillus sp, Microccus sp, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Serratia sp. Only Bacillus sp and Pseudomonas aeroginosa were isolated from all the stations. The fungi isolated were Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Mucor sp, Pencillium sp and Trichoderma viridae. Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus and Mucor sp were the most common fungi with percentage frequency of 100% degradation potential of these isolates is herby recommended for further studies.
