A gamma ray-induced mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain S8, capable hyperproduction biosurfactant from hydrocarbons, was isolated and named as EBN-8. The showed 3-4 times more hydrocarbon emulsification/conversion compared to the parent when grown on Khaskheli crude oil in minimal medium. Enhanced production utilization by also observed during growth heptadecane medium indicated emulsion index surface tension cell-free culture broth. Using carbon energy source, time course for (cfu ml-1)...
Plant-bacteria partnership is a promising strategy for the remediation of soil and water polluted with hydrocarbons. However, limitation major nutrients (N, P K) in affects survival metabolic activity plant associated bacteria. The objective this study was to explore effects on an alkane degrading rhizo-bacterium. Annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) grown diesel-contaminated inoculated bacterium, Pantoea sp. strain BTRH79, greenhouse experiments. Two levels were applied growth, hydrocarbon...
Heavy metal contamination of soil and water caused by industrialization has become a major environmental issue in Pakistan. Therefore, it is important to determine the level close industrial areas. In current study, we have assessed heavy groundwater at leather area Kasur, Soil samples were collected from study analyzed for Cr, Fe, Ni, Cd, Pb, Zn, Co, Mn atomic absorption spectrophotometric method. The data revealed that are highly contaminated with all tested metals. particular, chromium...
Abstract A chlorpyrifos ( CP ) and 3,5,6‐trichloro‐2‐pyridinol TCP degrading bacterial strain, M esorhizobium sp. HN3 , was isolated characterized. degraded efficiently up to 400 mg/ L initial concentration at wide range of temperatures (30–40° C pH (6.0–8.0). However, optimal degradation achieved 37°C neutral (7.0) an inoculum density 2 × 10 7 colony forming unit/m culture medium. Kinetic parameters for by were estimated different concentrations. Cultures exhibited significant variation P ≤...
Inoculation of plants with pollutant-degrading and plant growth-promoting microorganisms is a simple strategy to enhance phytoremediation activity. The objective this study was determine the effect inoculation different bacterial strains, possessing alkane-degradation 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase activity, on growth Carpet grass (Axonopus affinis) planted in soil spiked diesel (1% w/w) for 90 days inoculated Pseudomonas sp. ITRH25, Pantoea BTRH79 Burkholderia PsJN,...
Glyphosate is a herbicide that acts by inhibition of the enzyme, 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), involved in catalysis an essential step biosynthesis aromatic amino acids. The objective this study was isolation glyphosate-resistant bacterial strains and subsequent characterization gene(s) encoding glyphosate resistance these isolates. Using enrichment culture technique, bacterium, Ochrobactrum intermedium Sq20 isolated from glyphosate-contaminated indigenous soil...
In spite of recent scientific advances, treatment and repair cartilage using tissue engineering techniques remains challenging. The major constraint is the limited proliferative capacity mature autologous chondrocytes used in approach. This problem can be addressed by stem cells, which self-renew with greater potential. Cartilage adult mesenchymal cells derived from bone marrows has met success. this study we explored generation embryonic (ESCs). ESCs were induced to differentiate into...
