Abstract Soil contamination from hydrocarbon spills has resulted in significant environmental repercussions on a global scale. Bioremediation, which involves the use of living organisms such as microbes to remove contaminants from polluted ecosystems, offers a promising solution. In this study, tolerance tests on hydrocarbons present in Jet Fuel A1 were carried out, utilizing microorganisms isolated from four soil samples (M1, M2, M3, and M4) collected at varying distances from the rhizosphere o
