Numerical taxonomy and ecology of petroleum-degrading bacteria.

Identification and proteomic analysis of petroleum degrading bacteria

Background The natural environment has suffered high accumulations of pollutants which affect not only the soil, groundwater, rivers, lakes, rainwater routes and air, but also human health due to the formation of unhealthy conditions. Excessive use of pesticides, crude oil spills, discharges of industrial waste, among other xenobiotic compounds accumulate in the environment and become worrisome...

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

Numerical taxonomy of certain coryneform bacteria.

da Silva, G. A. Nigel (Iowa State University, Ames), and John G. Holt. Numerical taxonomy of certain coryneform bacteria. J. Bacteriol. 90:921-927. 1965-An electronic computer was used to sort 32 strains of coryneforms into groups with the tree-sort program. The similarity values obtained in this procedure were then used to construct a dendrogram depicting the phenetic resemblance among the tax...

Enumeration of petroleum-degrading microorganisms.

A variety of factors, including concentration of oil, antibiotics, dyes, and inoculum washes, were examined to determine their effect on the total counts of microorganisms on oil-containing media. The media found to be best for enumerating petroleum-degrading microorganisms contained 0.5% (vol/vol) oil and 0.003% phenol red, with Fungizone added for isolating bacteria and streptomycin and tetra...
