Petroleum hydrocarbons are the most common environmental pollutants in world and oil spills pose a great hazard to terrestrial marine ecosystems. Oil pollution may arise either accidentally or operationally whenever is produced, transported, stored processed used at sea on land. major menace environment as they severely damage surrounding To improve survival retention of bioremediation agents contaminated sites, bacterial cells must be immobilized. Immobilized widely tested for variety...
Three bacterial isolates identified as Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2, Rhodococcus erythropolis HS4 and Pseudomonas stutzeri SDM, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, were isolated from crude oil enrichments of natural seawater. Single strains four consortia designed by mixing the single cultures respectively in following ratios: (Alcanivorax: Pseudomonas, 1:1), Rhodococcus, (Pseudomonas: Pseudomonas: 1:1:1), analyzed order to evaluate their degrading capability. All experiments carried out...
Garlic is considered a rich source of many compounds, which shows antimicrobial effects. The ability microorganisms to adhere both biotic and abiotic surfaces form biofilm responsible for number diseases chronic nature, demonstrating extremely high resistance antibiotics. Bacterial biofilms are complex communities sessile microorganisms, embedded in an extracellular matrix irreversibly attached various surfaces.The present study evaluated the activity Allium sativum extract against six...
Phenol and phenolic compounds are environmental pollutants present in industrial wastewaters such as coal tar, oil refineries petrochemical plants. removal from effluents is extremely important for the protection of environment. Usually, phenol degradation carried out by physicochemical methods that costly produce hazardous metabolites. Recently, biodegradation has been considered. Yeasts most biodegraders. In this study, phenol-degrading yeast samples (soil wastewater) was isolated coking...
The responses of the natural microbial community in contaminated and uncontaminated sediments Persian Gulf Caspian Sea were evaluated by microcosm experiments. Analysis bacterial densities (total heterotrophic, hydrocarbon-degrading hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria count), metabolic activities (enzymatic activities), detection catabolic genes alkane hydroxylase systems PCR performed on subsurface sediment during 120 days experiment. results showed that from both areas had high dehydrogenase...
Background: Petroleum hydrocarbons are mix compounds and divided into four groups: Saturates, Aromatics, Resins Asphalten. Among various phases of crude-oil, the alkanes with medium length chain favorable substrates that rapidly degraded, although short-chain very toxic long-chain have low solubility in water reduce its bioavailability make resistant to biodegradation. Objectives: The main goal this study is isolation, molecular identification degradation properties hexadecane degrading...
The acidophilic and thermophilic cellulase would facilitate the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuel. In this study, Bacillus sonorensis HSC7 isolated as best cellulose degrading bacterium from Gorooh hot spring. 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that, strain closely related B. sonorensis. CMCase production was considered under varying environmental parameters. Results sucrose (NH4)2SO4 were obtained carbon nitrogen sources for production. produced during growth in optimized medium...
Background: The extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) -producing Escherichia coli isolates make many serious infections, especially urinary tract infections. Objectives: purpose of this study was to determine the antibacterial activities some natural plant extracts against ESBL-producing E. isolates, which harbor TEM gene in urine samples patients who have Materials and Methods: Evaluation has be exactly determined for both methods disk diffusion test polymerase chain reaction (PCR),...
Abstract Phenols are distributed either as natural or artificial mono-aromatic compounds in various environmental sites major pollutants. The objective of this study was the immobilization phenol degrading bacteria P. putida P53 and A. scleromae P69 sodium-alginate beads sawdust carriers evaluate biodegradation ability. ability strains free form were evaluated shown to biodegrade up 1,800 mg/L phenol. Bacterial biomass prepared attached carrier with entrapment attachment methods. Prepared...
