Abstract Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biopolymers, which can replace petrochemical plastics in many applications. However, these bioplastics currently far more expensive than plastics. Many researchers investigating the use of inexpensive substrates derived from waste streams. Waste frying oil is abundant and be used PHA production without filtration. Cupriavidus necator (formerly known as Ralstonia eutropha ) a versatile organism for PHAs. Small-scale batch fermentation studies have...
The Pseudomonas sp. P-1 strain, isolated from heavily petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil, was investigated for its capability to degrade hydrocarbons and produce a biosurfactant. strain degraded crude oil, fractions A5 P3 of hexadecane (27, 39, 27 13% added culture medium were degraded, respectively) but had no ability phenanthrene. Additionally, the presence gene-encoding enzymes responsible degradation alkanes naphthalene in genome reported. Positive results blood agar methylene blue...
Many endophytic bacteria exert beneficial effects on their host, but still little is known about the associated with plants growing in areas heavily polluted by hydrocarbons. The aim of study was characterization culturable hydrocarbon-degrading Lotus corniculatus L. and Oenothera biennis collected long-term petroleum hydrocarbon-polluted site using culture-dependent molecular approaches. A total 26 endophytes from these were isolated. Phylogenetic analyses classified isolates into phyla...
