Abstract:

Pythium irregulare oomycetes adapts with environmental changes including crude oil concentration by changing the composition of lipids in the cytoplasmic membrane and providing the required characteristics for adaptation in improper and stressful environmental situations. It was found that cultivation of Pythium irregulare LX oomycetes in the nutrient media with different concentrations of crude oil with 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0 and 10.0 (%), incubated for 5 days at 26-28°C on a rotary shaker (200 rpm) in aerobic conditions and deep culturing caused an increase in the lipid content and the unsaturation degree of fatty acids, confirming the correspondence between the increase of polar lipid/free sterol in the composition of membrane lipids’ ratio and that of polar lipids in general lipid fractions. Represented data shows that the process of adaptation of oomycetes to a stressful situation created with crude oil motivated the increase of the rate of membrane phospholipids with a high quantity of unsaturated fatty acids.

Behavioral changes in the organization of petroleum exporting countries (OPEC) in the crude oil world market

The main aim of this survey is to investigate the evolution of the OPEC mode of behavior and link the evolution to some important events in the (global) crude oil market. The dominant conclusion of this survey confirms that the primary purpose of OPEC has been to coordinate and unify the petroleum policies of its member countries, in order to secure their individual and collective interests.

Influence of Temperature on Growth and Peak Oil Biosynthesis in a Carbon-Limited Medium by Pythium irregulare

Kinetic analysis was investigated for a carbonlimited medium (C/N ratio = 5.0) supporting the growth of the 5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5; x-3) (EPA)accumulating fungal organism Pythium irregulare. The productivity and yield parameters at three temperatures, 14, 21, and 28 C, demonstrated growth-coupled synthesis for lipid-free biomass growth and lipid accumulation. For this system, ...
