Identification and proteomic analysis of petroleum degrading bacteria

Characterization of Bacteria Degrading Petroleum Derivatives Isolated from Contaminated Soil and Water

Characterization and Potentials of Indigenous Oil-Degrading Bacteria Inhabiting the Rhizosphere of Wild Oat (Avena Fatua L.) in South West of Iran.

Background: The contamination of ecosystem with petroleum and its derivatives is con‌sidered as one of the most crucial environmental threat in Iran. Application of micro‌organisms has been demonstrated as an appropriate and more practical alternative to clean-up petroleum hydrocarbons in the contaminated environments. Objectives: The objectives of this study were isolating r...

Degradation of Alkanes in Contaminated Sites

Petroleum hydrocarbons are important energy resources used by industry and in our daily life, whose production contributes highly to environmental pollution. To control such risk, bioremediation constitutes an environmentally friendly alternative technology that has been established and applied. It constitutes the primary mechanism for the elimination of hydrocarbons from contaminated sites by ...

Isolation and identification of crude oil degrading bacteria from mangrove forests of Khamir and Minab ports located at north of Persian Gulf

Mangrove forests are coastal ecosystems that found worldwide in tropical and subtropical zones. Oil spill causes damage to these marine ecosystems. The objective of this study is study the oil-degrading bacteria in some mangrove forests that located at Persian Gulf. In this study sediments and plant materials were collected from mangrove forests at Persian Gulf (Minab and Khamir ports). Oil-deg...

جداسازی و تشخیص مولکولی یک گونه باکتری تجزیه کننده نرمال هگزادکان از کمپوست و بررسی کارایی آن در حذف هگزادکان

Introduction: Petroleum hydrocarbons are the most frequent environmental pollutants. Contamination of soil and groundwater by diesel released from underground storage tanks is an important and extensive environmental problem in Iran. The aim of this study was to isolate and molecular identification of n-hexadecane-degrading bacteria from compost. Methods:Hexadecane, C16H34, used as a model c...
