Nutrient deficiency severely impairs the catabolic action of indigenous microorganisms in hydrocarbon rich environments (HREs) andmaximum the rate of intrinsic bioremediation. The instant study aimed to characterize the microbial community in refinery waste and evaluate the scope for biostimulation based in situ bioremediation. Samples recovered from the wastewater lagoon of Guwahati refinery revealed a hydrocarbon enriched [high total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH)], oxygen-, moisture-limited, decreasing environment. Intrinsic biodegradation capacity of the indigenous microorganisms was increase significantly (>80% reduction in TPH by 90 days) with nitrate amendment. Preferred applications of both higher- (>C30) and middle- chain (C20-30) length hydrocarbons were evident from GC-MS analysis.
