The Antarctic region is facing a higher risk of hydrocarbon pollution due to increased human activities. Compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic compounds available in fuel are highly stable can reside the environment for prolonged periods if left untreated. isolation native strains needed develop bioremediation applications suitable Antarctica. Strain BS19 wa...

Cyanobacteria are able to tolerate, and even metabolize, moderate doses of organochlorine pesticides, such as lindane (γ-hexachlorocyclohexane), one the most persistent widely used in recent decades. Previous work showed that Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7806 degrades that, presence pesticide, microcystin synthesis is enhanced. In this work, using silico approaches, we have identified M. putative...

Four different bacteria capable of degrading butachlor, as well five syntrophic pairs able to break down were isolated from rice paddy soils in Korea. Genetic and phenotypic analyses conducted better understand their characteristics behavior. All single isolates utilize butachlor a sole carbon energy source. Analysis the 16S rRNA sequence showed that related members genus Rhodococcus new type b...
