Toluene are hazardous man-made hydrocarbon. This hydrocarbon can be degraded using biological approach. In the past research, the bacteria were isolated and characterized in terms of morphology. Based on screening on screening result,TSArp- Cr3, TSArp- Cr4, TSArp- Cr5, TSArp- Cr6 able to grow on 3 different concentration of toluene. Strain TSArp- Cr6 shows the best reading as it has ascending number bacterial population as the concentration of toluene increased compared to the rest three strains.
