The characteristics of possible microbes isolated and identified on adsorption process involving AGO and PMS as contaminants in fresh water medium was monitored using agro – based materials. The formulated adsorbent is made of clay with ago-based materials of Banana Ogoni Red (BOR) Banana Native (BN), Plantain Agbagba 1 (PA1), and Plantain Ogoni Red (POR). The particle size mixed ratio of clay to the various agro-based materials were 150𝜇𝑚 R5:5, 300 𝜇𝑚 R8:4, 300𝜇𝑚 R1:9, 600𝜇𝑚 R6:4, 600𝜇𝑚 R4:6, 1.18mm R2:8, 1.18mm R.6:4, 150𝜇𝑚 R1:9, 300𝜇𝑚 R4:6, 1.18mm R4:6, 1.18mm R5:5, 1.18mm R1:9, 300𝜇𝑚 R5:5, 600𝜇𝑚 R2:8, 150𝜇𝑚 R:4:6:6, 600𝜇𝑚 R5:5, 1.18mm R3:7, 600𝜇𝑚 R3:7, 300𝜇𝑚 R3:7 and 150𝜇𝑚 R3:7. The performance of each adsorbent formulated in total petroleum removal was monitored and the hydrocarbon utilizing bacterial as well. The research focus was mainly on the microbial concentration, because the potential of the TPH removal was more of adsorption process rather than bioremediation process and this was attributed to the short period of involve in monitoring the adsorption process of the adsorbent in the treatment of the contaminated water medium with AGO and PMS. The microorganism was found to have posses’ high potential in using the AGO and PMS as their source of energy for growth and research further revealed that the particle size of 1.18mm with mix ratio of R4:6, R2:8, R3:7, R:9. R:9. R”4 performance was higher than particle size of 150𝜇𝑚, 300𝜇𝑚 and 600𝜇𝑚 as well as rated to the mix ratios of R5:5, R8:4, 1:9 R6:4, R3:7, R5:5, R4:6 and R2:8. However, each of the formulated adsorbent was rated good because of its potential in TPH removal and the research was able to reveal that using bio adsorbent in treatment of contaminated water medium does not involve only adsorption process only, but bioremediation process is also involve. The characteristics of the microbes in terms of its transient growth behaviour demonstrates no lag phase good progressive phase experienced, stationary phase uncounted by the HUB as well as decline phase. This research has really shown that hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria enhanced AGO and PMS remediation in the process of adsorption mechanism.
