In the present study five different bacteria were enriched and isolated from the soil around Shiraz refinery (Iran) as aniline degrading bacteria. They were identified as <em>Enterobacter ludwigii </em>KH-5,<em> Raoultella planticola</em> KH-A2<em>, Alcaligenes faecalis</em> KH-A3<em>, Serratia marcescens</em> KH-A4 and<em> Microbacterium barkeri</em> KH-A1 based on 16S rDNA gene sequencing. The highest aniline degradation rate (96%) was observed by <em>E. ludwigii</em> KH-A5. This strain with the greatest amount of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was the most aniline resistant bacterium. The optimum pH and temperature that supported biodegradation of aniline by strain KH-A5 were 7.0 and 28-35 °C, respectively. The maximum growth and biodegradation of aniline by KH-A5 were observed at the initial aniline concentration of 100 mg l<sup>-1</sup>. The strain could growth on aniline up to concentration of 700 mg l<sup>-1</sup> with the degradation rate of 11%. Further studies demonstrated that the addition of 0.5 g l<sup>-1</sup> glucose or potassium nitrate as a second carbon or nitrogen source could slightly enhance the biodegradation efficiency from 96.0% to 99.0%. However, even more addition of glucose or potassium nitrate could not further enhance the biodegradation process but delayed the biodegradation of aniline by the strain KH-A5. It could be concluded that these new strains, particularly<em> E. ludwigii</em> KH-A5, have a potential use for bioremediation of the site contaminated with aniline.</p> </div> <p> </p> </p></abstract><publication_date><month>07</month><day>26</day><year>2016</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>697</first_page><last_page>707</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">gnest_02016</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.002016</doi><timestamp>1713562274</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/gnest_02016</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
