Investigation of Hydrocarbon-degrading Microbial Communities of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contaminated Soils in Harghita County, Romania
Microorganisms able to degrade hydrocarbon pollutants (gasoline, and other petroleum derivatives) have been isolated from two contaminated areas (Sândominic and Bălan) by enrichment technique. The hydrocarbon degradative capacity of contaminated sites were determined using “Biometer flasks” (respiratory CO2 production measurement). Total counts and hydrocarbon degrading counts were determined u...
متن کاملIsolation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Degrading Bacterial Strains Isolated from Indigenous Microbial Communities of Petroleum Contaminated Soils
Soil and sludge samples polluted with petroleum waste from Cairo Oil Refining Company Mostorod, Qalyubia, Egypt for more than 41 years were used for isolation of indigenous microbial communities. These communities were grown on seven polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds (naphthalene(Naph.), phenanthrene (Phen.), anthracene (Anth.), fluorancene (Flu.), acenaphthene (Acen.), pyrene (Pyr.) an...
متن کاملBacterial hydrocarbon-degrading consortium from Antarctic soils.
Removal of contaminants from polluted environments could be improved by taking advantage of the catabolic capacity of some microorganisms in a process called bioremediation. Nowadays, the use of microbial associations (also called microbial consortia) is gaining attention, because they seem to have a wider degradation spectrum than that exhibited by isolated strains. M10 is a bacterial consorti...
متن کاملStructure and function of alpine and arctic soil microbial communities.
Cultivation-independent molecular phylogenetic techniques are now widely employed to examine environmental microbial diversity; however, the relationship between microbial community structure and ecosystem function is unclear. This review synthesizes cultivation-independent views of microbiological diversity with our current understanding of nutrient dynamics in alpine and arctic soils. Recentl...
متن کاملLignocellulose-Degrading Microbial Communities in Landfill Sites Represent a Repository of Unexplored Biomass-Degrading Diversity
The microbial conversion of lignocellulosic biomass for biofuel production represents a renewable alternative to fossil fuels. However, the discovery of new microbial enzymes with high activity is critical for improving biomass conversion processes. While attempts to identify superior lignocellulose-degrading enzymes have focused predominantly on the animal gut, biomass-degrading communities in...
