Following an increased interest in management practices designed to reduce posed phytotoxicity on agricultural farmland during phytoremediation experiments, crude oil polluted soil and variants from conditioners � aided phytoremediation experiment were subjected to Terminal Restriction Fragment Polymorphism (t-RFLP) to evalute the biodiversity of bacterial micro?ora of polluted soil and amendments conditions. Genetic fingerprinting showed that hydrocarbons stress led to depletion of the genetic resources of soil micro?ora and to a radical change in its qualitative composition. The amended stressed soils not only has a greater number of species present, but the individuals in the community are distributed more equitably among these species. Non � uniform marginal regain of community was clear with applied conditioner. Positive associations, however were observed with conditioner and phyto � assisted clean � up attempts.
