Microbial Characterization of Streptomyces Isolates from Oil Contaminated Soil

In this study, nineteen different Streptomyces strains were isolated from oil-contaminated surface soil at Ataş Oil Terminal in Turkey. Biodegradation and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism tests (RFLP) used for selecting isolates. The isolates belonging to the genus confirmed by 16S rDNA analysis. 1592r, 1492r, 800r, 518f, 27f primers chosen gene amplifying sequencing. Then 93-unit characters determine phenotypic, physiological, biochemical properties. All can degrade Tween 80, casein, gelatin, hypoxanthine, RNA, L-Tyrosine, elastin. Nevertheless, EL039, EL045, EL060 have better degradation potentials because of gave positive results eleven tests. According obtained results, EL037, could be a member S. albogriseolus, rochei, mutabilis, respectively, phylogenetic tree characterization indicated that especially, EL038, EL057 new members genus. We perceive would benefit biotechnological studies thanks enzyme potentials.
