abstract

using environmental-friendly methods in order to remove or reduce oil pollutants and their derivations in the environment are developing. in this study, the biodegrading ability of bacillus subtilis .sp which has been separated from oil-polluted soil was examined. it was revealed that it can reduce surface tension of growth medium and produce bio-surfactant at 37 and 20 degrees centigrade. also, it has the ability to biodegrade oil hydrocarbons. a reduction in surface tension from 58 nm/m to 31.2 nm/m at different percentages of crude oil at 37 degrees centigrade is one of the important results.

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...

Crude petroleum-oil biodegradation efficiency of Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from a petroleum-oil contaminated soil from North-East India.

The efficiency of Bacillus subtilis DM-04 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa M and NM strains isolated from a petroleum contaminated soil sample from North-East India was compared for the biodegradation of crude petroleum-oil hydrocarbons in soil and shake flask study. These bacterial strains could utilize crude petroleum-oil hydrocarbons as sole source of carbon and energy. Bioaugmentation of TPH cont...

Biodegradation effects of five species of isolated Cyanobacteria from oil contaminated areas of the southern part of Iran

Microorganisms can be used in order to break down and clean any type of a specific class of compounds which are found in petroleum and its related products. In this study, the rate of biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons by five isolated cyanobacteria from oil polluted region of south part of Iran has been studied. These include Anabaena ISC55 ، Nostoc ISC26، Nostoc ISC32 ، Phormidium ISC24...

Biodegradation of Jet Fuel by Three Gram Negative Bacilli Isolated from Kerosene Contaminated Soil

Petroleum hydrocarbon contamination is a major global prevalent issue in the petroleum sector. This research focuses on evaluating biodegradation of three Gram-negative bacilli, isolated from cowpea planted soil, contaminated with kerosene. The Gram negative bacilli strains have been characterized and identified, using MicrobactTM ID24E systems for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae and c...
