BIODETERIORATION OF CYPERMETHRIN BY LOCAL ISOLATE ISOLATED FROM EGYPTIAN PETROLEUM CONTAMINATED SOIL

Biodegradation of Polychlorinated Biphenyls by and Isolated from Contaminated Soil

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) cause many significant ecological problems because of their low degradability, high harmfulness, and solid bioaccumulation.Two bacterial strains were isolated from soil that had been polluted with electrical transformer liquid for more than 40 years. The isolates were distinguished as Lysinibacillus macrolides DSM54Tand Bacillus firmus NBRC1530...

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

Biodegradation of methylene blue from aqueous solution by bacteria isolated from contaminated soil

The use of biodegradation methods by microorganisms in the removal of industrial dyes are widely considered owing to their high efficiency and compatibility to the environment. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the biodegradation of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution by bacteria isolated from contaminated soil. This study was performed in laboratory scale on bacteria isolated and pu...

Screening of Microorganisms Isolated from Petroleum Oil Contaminated Soil for Vegetable Oil Conversion to Bio-diesel

Decreasing fossil fuel stocks has prompted research and development to find alternatives, particularly from renewable energy resources. Lower alcohol, fatty ester called as Bio-Diesel production using vegetable oils with the help of biological catalysts (Lipases) is being considered as one such good alternative. Soil samples in and around petroleum stock processing plant wereused to isolate fun...

Draft Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas stutzeri LH-42, Isolated from Petroleum-Contaminated Soil

We used Illumina HiSeq technology to sequence the whole genome of Pseudomonas stutzeri LH-42, a bacterium isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil in Liaoning Province, China. The bacterium contains a series of specific genes involved in the oxidation of organic sulfur compounds.
