Anaerobic degradation of oil hydrocarbons by sulfate-reducing and nitrate-reducing bacteria
Crude oil is a complex mixture mainly composed of various saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons. Whereas degradation of hydrocarbons by oxygen-respiring microorganisms has been known for nearly one century, utilization of hydrocarbons under anoxic conditions has been investigated only during the past ten years. The present paper summarizes investigations into the anaerobic degradability of crude ...
متن کاملOxidation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons under Sulfate-Reducing Conditions.
[(sup14)C]naphthalene and phenanthrene were oxidized to (sup14)CO(inf2) without a detectable lag under strict anaerobic conditions in sediments from San Diego Bay, San Diego, Calif., that were heavily contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) but not in less contaminated sediments. Sulfate reduction was necessary for PAH oxidation. These results suggest that the self-purificatio...
متن کاملAnaerobic oxidation of o-xylene, m-xylene, and homologous alkylbenzenes by new types of sulfate-reducing bacteria.
Various alkylbenzenes were depleted during growth of an anaerobic, sulfate-reducing enrichment culture with crude oil as the only source of organic substrates. From this culture, two new types of mesophilic, rod-shaped sulfate-reducing bacteria, strains oXyS1 and mXyS1, were isolated with o-xylene and m-xylene, respectively, as organic substrates. Sequence analyses of 16S rRNA genes revealed th...
متن کاملAnaerobic degradation of naphthalene and 2-methylnaphthalene by strains of marine sulfate-reducing bacteria.
The anaerobic biodegradation of naphthalene, an aromatic hydrocarbon in tar and petroleum, has been repeatedly observed in environments but scarcely in pure cultures. To further explore the relationships and physiology of anaerobic naphthalene-degrading microorganisms, sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) were enriched from a Mediterranean sediment with added naphthalene. Two strains (NaphS3, NaphS6...
متن کاملAnaerobic biotransformation of fluorene and phenanthrene by sulfate-reducing bacteria and identification of biotransformation pathway.
In the present study, anaerobic biotransformation of fluorene and phenanthrene by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) was investigated and biotransformation pathways were proposed. SRB was enriched from anaerobic swine wastewater sludge and its abundance was determined by the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique. Batch anaerobic biotransformation studies were conducted with fluorene ...
