Isolation and screening of novel strains of bacteria from natural sources for biotransformation studies were investigated. Two strains were isolated from different contaminated soils around lake side soils of Gandigudem, Isnapur and Kazipally in and around Hyderabad, India. These strains were identified at the Institute ofMicrobial Technology, Chandigarh, India, basing on physical and biochemical characterization assigned MTCC numbers. These two strains were designated as Kocuria rosea MTCC 8311 and Bacillus cereusMTCC8312. These strains were used for biodegradation studies.
