isolation and characterization of diesel-degrading pseudomonas strains from diesel-contaminated soils in iran (fars province)
Authors
abstract
in this study, among the 21 diesel-degrading bacteria that were isolated from an oil-polluted area in fars (iran), 6 bacterial strains were tested for their capability to metabolize and grow on diesel oil by degrading its hydrocarbons content. the biochemical characteristics and 16s rrna sequence analysis of diesel-degrading bacteria showed that these strains were related to the genus pseudomonas. among the six isolates, five strains (l1, i2, d1, d2, and g1) were clustered with pseudomonas aeruginosa, whereas only one strain (k3) was clustered with pseudomonas fragi. gas chromatographic (gc) analysis of the diesel oil that was remaining in the culture medium after 10 days of culture at 30°c showed that p. aeruginosa i2 presented the highest growth rate and diesel-oil degradation (88%) between all isolates. p. aeruginosa i2 also presented the best emulsification activity, but the best hydrophobicity was seen in p. aeruginosa g1. by applying these bacteria in bioremediation processes, diesel oil contamination in soil can be counteracted.

Antarctica is an attractive target for human exploration and scientific investigation, however the negative effects of human activity on this continent are long lasting and can have serious consequences on the native ecosystem. Various areas of Antarctica have been contaminated with diesel fuel, which contains harmful compounds such as heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Bi...

Background: Organic agricultural pesticides are so stable in ecosystems and biosphere. These compounds affect soil conditions and agricultural products. The aim of this study was isolation of diazinon-degrading bacteria from Kerman pistachio orchards, Southeastern Iran. Methods: Diazinon-degrading bacteria were enriched in Bushnell-Hass medium. Identification and sequencing of prevalent degr...
full textCharacterization of a diesel-degrading strain isolated from a hydrocarbon-contaminated site.
A diesel-degrading bacterium has been isolated from a diesel-polluted site. The isolate was tentatively identified as Staphylococcus aureus strain DRY11 based on partial 16S rDNA molecular phylogeny and Biolog GP microplate panels and Microlog database. Isolate 11 showed an almost linear increase in cellular growth with respect to diesel concentrations with optimum growth occurring at 4% (v/v) ...

This study presents the experimental remediation studies of diesel contaminated soil with Sodium Deducible Sulfate (SDS) as surfactants using column tests. Sandy selected soil had the grain size distribution of # 40 meshes to the # 200 mesh range. The soil columns were contaminated with adequate diesel amount to achieve the concentration of 10000 and 20000 ppm in soil. 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 percen...
