The present paper investigates cellulose degrading bacteria present in kitchen waste for highest cellulase activity and growth of bacteria at optimum temperature and pH. Sample was collected from domestic kitchen waste and bacterial strains were isolated using nutrient agar media. Enrichment technique was used for isolating CDB (cellulose degrading bacteria) strains. The objective of research w...

Biosurfactants are surface-active agents produced by hydrocarbanoclastic bacteria isolated from oil contaminated sites. In the present study a potential oil degrading bacterium was isolated from Cuddalore harbor waters and identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa by using both biochemical and 16S rRNA sequencing. Growth optimization of the strain was done against varying physiochemical parameters v...

Abstract Production activities of petroleum have resulted in extensive environmental pollution, due to accidents, leaks, and oil spills during these activities. Gathering Station is one production facility at the field that serves as a gathering place for several liquids produced from wells measure flow rate. Wastewater still contains oil, so before being discharged into water bodies should be ...

This paper reports on continuing research at Coventry University into the improvement of highway water quality following flow through a permeable pavement. Such pavements have been shown elsewhere to be efficient in-situ bio-reactors, capable of degrading large quantities of clean motor oil. Further laboratory research, reported here, demonstrates that a commercially obtained oil degrading, mic...

The marine environment is highly susceptible to pollution by petroleum, and so it is important to understand how microorganisms degrade hydrocarbons, and thereby mitigate ecosystem damage. Our understanding about the ecology, physiology, biochemistry and genetics of oil-degrading bacteria and fungi has increased greatly in recent decades; however, individual populations of microbes do not funct...

Marine hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria perform a fundamental role in the oxidation and ultimate removal of crude oil and its petrochemical derivatives in coastal and open ocean environments. Those with an almost exclusive ability to utilize hydrocarbons as a sole carbon and energy source have been found confined to just a few genera. Here we used stable isotope probing (SIP), a valuable tool to ...

Marine oil spill pollution was one of the factors affecting marine ecology northeastern South China Sea (nSCS). The submarine produced after had a long-term impact on microbial community in sediment. In this study, 16S rRNA genes high-throughput sequencing and quantitative PCR were used to study composition distribution bacterial communities deep-sea sediments; meanwhile, petroleum hydrocarbon ...

bioremoval and bioreduction activities of hydrocarbon (diesel) isolation from environmental samples were studied by the activity of biosurfactant production, and calculating emulsification index, gravimetric, and ftir analysis along with the estimation of bacterial biomass. sample from soil near petrol, diesel pumps and water sample from thesjaswini river near padannakad, kasaragod, kerala, ind...
