“…During the same period when landtreatment was studied and optimized, scientists either reacted to and studied accidental spills (McGill and Rowell, 1977;Odu, 1978;Dibble and Bartha, 1979a;Pinholt et at., 1979;Jones and Greenfield, 1991) or deliberately created laboratory-scale or small outdoor oil product spills to study their fate and bioremediation potential .…”

“…For instance, whiterot fungi and bacteria that degrade petroleum hydrocarbons require free or dissolved oxygen (Odu 1981). In addition, oil degradation requires mineral elements such as C, Ca, Mg, K, S, Fe, N, and P and various trace elements (Odu 1978). Inorganic nutrients mainly nitrogen and phosphorus as well as carbon, which is the main nutrient, are essential for all biological processes.…”

“…The performance of maize plant and other plants has also been found to be seriously affected by oil pollution, that is, growth was generally poor as pollution level increases (Toogood and Rowell 1977;Odu 1981). The retardation in plant growth is said to be due to a hindrance of transpiration and photosynthesis (Amakiri and Onafeghara 1983;Odu 1978).…”

Morphological and anatomical effects of crude oil on Pistia stratiotes

Fresh whole plants of Pistia stratiotes were exposed to varying doses of crude oil (0-100 ppm) for 28 days at normal temperature of 30 ± 2°C. Samples were taken weekly during this period for determination of changes in leaf area, root length, number of leaves, and number of sprouts. The cross-section of one terminal end of the major roots and cellular distribution of the meristematic region were also examined. The results show that crude oil was toxic to the plant at all concentrations in all investigated parameters for as low as 10 ppm. Association was also observed between crude oil toxicity and certain metals inherent in the crude oil such as manganese and lead. Cell shape disruptions, changes in mitotic indices, and the distortion of cellular anatomy and structure at the apical region also characterized the presence of crude oil in the environment of P. stratiotes. P. stratiotes may not be a good bio-accumulator of crude oil but may be used for the detection of pollution.
