Traditional physical treatments, such as precipitation and oil-water separation, are costly, labour-intensive, and generate secondary waste. Microbe-based biological treatment has emerged as a safer and more effective alternative. This study aims to isolate and characterise oil -degrading microbes from wastewater produced by food processing factories and restaurants in Malaysia. Four microbial strains\u2014Acinetobacter oryzae MSMA-I1, A. piscicola MSMA-I2, Candida palmioleophila MSMA- A3, and A. guillouiae MSMA-A7\u2014were identified through biochemical and molecular testing. The isolates  demonstrated  high  growth  rates  and  emulsification  activity  when  incubated  with  2% cooking  oil  as  the  sole  carbon  source  for  72  hours.  These  strains  also  exhibited  resilience  at temperatures of 25\u201337 \u00b0C and pH 6\u20139, conditions typical of Malaysian wastewater. Gravimetric analysis showed that isolates I2, A3, and A7 achieved oil degradation rates exceeding 50%, while isolate I1 exhibited lower efficiency at 31.58%. This study provides valuable microbial candidates for the efficient bioremediation of FOG in food industry wastewater, offering a sustainable solution to environmental pollution.<\/p>\r\n        \r\n                    <p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong>\r\n                bioremediation, food industry, Oil-degrading microbes, wastewater            <\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t\r\n\t\r\n\t<div class=\"asmsj-citation-box\">\r\n        <h3>How to Cite<\/h3>\r\n        <p id=\"citation-text\">\r\n            2025.
