Individually and Synergistic Degradation of Hydrocarbons by Biosurfactant Producing Bacteria
Background: Increasing worldwide contamination with hydrocarbons has urged environmental remediation using biological agents such as bacteria. Our goal here was to study the phylogenetic relationship of two crude oil degrader bacteria and investigation of their ability to degrade hydrocarbons. Materials and Methods: Phylogenetic relationship of isolates was determined using morphological and...
متن کاملAnaerobic benzene degradation by bacteria
Benzene is a widespread and toxic contaminant. The fate of benzene in contaminated aquifers seems to be primarily controlled by the abundance of oxygen: benzene is aerobically degraded at high rates by ubiquitous microorganisms, and the oxygen-dependent pathways for its breakdown were elucidated more than 50 years ago. In contrast, benzene was thought to be persistent under anoxic conditions un...
متن کاملPhytol from Degradation of Chlorophyll Feeds Biosynthesis of Tocopherols.
Tocopherols, a subclassof tocochromanols that contain a phytol attached to the head group, act as antioxidants to protect lipids from oxidative damage, a particularly important function in chloroplasts and for seed longevity (reviewed in Maeda and DellaPenna, 2007). One pathway for tocopherol biosynthesis involves de novo synthesis from geranylgeranyl-diphosphate; the other pathway uses phytols...
متن کاملDegradation of putrescine and cadaverine in seawater cultures by marine bacteria.
Marine bacteria removed two diamines, putrescine and cadaverine, from coastal seawater supplemented only with these compounds. Batch cultures of natural bacterial communities were grown in filtered seawater (0.05 mum) supplemented with 500 mug of putrescine or cadaverine per liter. Increases in bacterial cell number were counted with an epifluorescence microscope after acridine orange staining....
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...
