Mercury-resistant bacteria and petroleum degradation.
The concentration of mercury in water and sediment and in the oil extracted from water and sediment was determined for samples collected in Colgate Creek, located in Baltimore Harbor of the Chesapeake Bay. The concentration of mercury in the oil was 4,000 times higher than in sediment and 300,000 times higher than in water samples. The mercury-resistant bacterial populations of the samples stud...
متن کاملBiotransformation of phosphogypsum by bacteria isolated from petroleum-refining wastewaters.
The biotransformation of phosphogypsum in cultures of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) isolated from crude petroleum-refining wastewaters or purified using activated sludge method was studied. Selection was with the microcosms method on Postgate and minimal medium with different carbon sources, Emerson medium and petroleum-refining wastewaters. Highest hydrogen sulfide production, in excess of 5...
متن کاملMicrobial Degradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contaminants: An Overview
One of the major environmental problems today is hydrocarbon contamination resulting from the activities related to the petrochemical industry. Accidental releases of petroleum products are of particular concern in the environment. Hydrocarbon components have been known to belong to the family of carcinogens and neurotoxic organic pollutants. Currently accepted disposal methods of incineration ...
متن کاملMicrobial Hydrocarbon Degradation: Efforts to Understand Biodegradation in Petroleum Reservoirs
The understanding of the phylogenetic diversity, metabolic capabilities, ecological roles, and community dynamics taking place in oil reservoir microbial communities is far from complete. The interest in studying microbial diversity and metabolism in petroleum reservoirs lies mainly but not only on providing a better comprehension of biodegradation of crude oils, since it represents a worldwide...
متن کاملAnaerobic degradation of pimelate by newly isolated denitrifying bacteria.
A C7 dicarboxylic (pimelic) acid derivative is postulated as an intermediate in anaerobic degradation of benzoate. Four strains of Gram-negative, nitrate-reducing bacteria capable of growth with both pimelate and benzoate as sole carbon and energy source were isolated. The metabolism of strain LP-1, which was enriched from activated sludge with pimelate as substrate, was studied in detail. This...
