Today's most of microorganisms are used for purification of hazard waste such as municipal and industrial waste water and oil contaminants. In this study 2 bacterial species were isolated and purified in hydrocarbon (anthracene) containing media from oil polluted sediment of Imam Khomeini port. Bacillus pasteurii and Amphibacillus xylanus species were identified as indicator degrading bacteria in media containing 30 ppm anthracene. Results showed among these bacteria, Bacillus pasteurii had faster growth and compatibility on solid medium containing anthracene oil hydrocarbon for 5 days at 30̊ C incubation.
