    abstract = {Ex-situ Bioremediation of diesel-polluted wastewater had been investigated in this study. Three microbes namely <I>Baccillus subtilis, Pseudomonia aerigunosa,</I> both bacteria and <I>Penicillilum funiculosum</I>, a fungus, isolated from the wastewater collected from a refinery sewage tank were used. The cultured micro-organisms were used to degrade 1.5 mL of diesel oil in 7 mL minimal salt medium for 20 days and samples were taken and analysed every 5 days. Bioremediation was achieved by all the organisms but at different rates. The results showed that out of the three organisms tested, the fungus <I>Penicilium funiculosum</I> has the best degrading ability with 0.2 and 0.46 mL residual oil at 15 days and 20 days, respectively, while <I>Bacillus subtilis</I> and <I>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</I> (both bacteria) has the same degrading ability of 0.7 mL residual oil after 20 days.}
