Growth and biochemical performance of Manihot esculenta Crantz (TMS 0505) amended with Centrosema pubescens and NPK fertilizer were carried out. Contamination levels of 2%, 4%, and 6% were used while amelioration treatments C. pubescens and NPK 15:15:15 were carried out by adding organic supplement (decomposed Centrosema pubescens) and NPK at the rate of 0.25Kg per 5Kg of soil to the various le...

poly aromatic hydrocarbons are hydrophobic organic compound found as major contaminants in soil. soil biological activities are vital for the restoration of soil contaminated with hydrocarbons. successful application of bioremediation technology to contaminated soil requires knowledge of the characteristics of the site and the parameters that affect the microbial biodegradation of pollutants. t...

Oil spills and petroleum based pollutions are very common which cause a potential threat to both terrestrial as well as aquatic life. Bioremediation has become an alternative way to remedy. These microorganisms can degrade a wide range of target constituents present in oil sludge. An ability to isolate high numbers of certain oil degrading microorganisms from an environment is commonly taken as...

Gordona terrae strain C-6 was isolated from oil-contaminated soil and is capable of desulfurizing benzothiophene (BT). Here we report the draft genome sequence of G. terrae strain C-6, which may help to reveal the genetic basis of the BT biodesulfurization pathway.

Here we report the full genome sequence of Raoultella ornithinolytica strain B6, a Gram-negative aerobic bacillus belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. This 2,3-butanediol-producing bacterium was isolated from oil-contaminated soil on Backwoon Mountain in South Korea. Strain B6 contains 5,398,151 bp with 4,909 protein-coding genes, 104 structural RNAs, and 55.88% G+C content.

Oleiagrimonas gudaosoli 3.5X(T) was isolated from an oil field and identified as a new member of a novel genus. The draft genome sequence of this strain, which comprises 3,379,958 bp encoding 3,010 open reading frames (ORFs), can provide insight into the life style of this newly identified genus in petroleum-contaminated soil.

Pseudomonas fragi strain DBC was isolated from crude oil-contaminated soil. The genome of P. fragi DBC is comprised of 5,072,304 bp with 54.09% GC content. Genes for degradation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons were found in the genome, in addition to genetic elements for related physiological functions such as chemotaxis, detoxification, and quorum sensing.
