This article introduces the EU Horizon 2020 research project GRACE (Integrated oil spill response actions and environmental effects), which focuses on a holistic approach towards investigating understanding hazardous impact of spills impacts benefits suite marine technologies in cold climate ice-infested areas North Atlantic Baltic Sea. The methods considered include mechanical collection water below ice, situ burning, use chemical dispersants, natural biodegradation, combinations these....
The development of oil exploration activities and an increase in shipping Arctic areas have increased the risk spills this cold marine environment. objective experimental study was to assess effect biostimulation on microbial community abundance, structure, dynamics, metabolic potential for hydrocarbon degradation oil-contaminated seawater. combination amplicon-based shotgun sequencing, together with integration genome-resolved metagenomics omics data, applied structure properties naphthenic...
The anthropogenic release of oil hydrocarbons into the cold marine environment is an increasing concern due to elevated usage sea routes and exploration new drilling sites in Arctic areas. aim this study was evaluate prokaryotic community structures genetic potential hydrocarbon degradation metagenomes seawater, ice, crude encapsulating ice Norwegian fjord, Ofotfjorden. Although results indicated substantial differences between structure communities seawater (SIO) showed increased abundances...
Surface-active compounds (SACs) are widely used in different industries as well many daily consumption products. However, with the increasing concern for their environmental acceptability, attention has turned towards biological SACs which biodegradable, less toxic and more environmentally friendly. In this work, 176 marine hydrocarbon-degrading bacterial isolates from petroleum-contaminated sites along Norwegian coastline were isolated screened capacity to produce SACs. Among them, 18...
Rhodococcus opacus HL PM-1 utilizes 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (picric acid) as a sole nitrogen source. The initial attack on picric acid occurs through two hydrogenation reactions. Hydride transferase II (encoded by npdI) and hydride I npdC) are responsible for the transfers. Database searches with npd genes have indicated presence of putative transcriptional regulator, npdR. Here, npdR gene was expressed in Escherichia coli, protein purified shown to form complex intergenic regions between open...
The biotransformation of hydrocarbon compounds in seawater at sub-zero temperature has gained research interest recent years with the most focus placed on temperatures around 0°C. In this study, dispersed diesel (−2°C to −6°C) artificial brines, prepared by adding Instant Ocean salt natural increase salinity, is examined. oil was pre-mixed dispersant Finasol 51 prepare 2 mg l−1. native microorganisms sub-arctic were able adapt high salinity and lower sea ice brine tested capable...
Geobacter and Shewanella are the most characterized electroactive bacteria genera. Unlike genus that is strictly anaerobic, can grow under both oxic anoxic environments capable of metabolizing a wider substrate range. In present study, use strain baltica 20 in MFC-based biosensor for BOD monitoring reported. The S. was isolated from river sediment Hungary. bacterium could form biofilm, oxidized glucose, transferred electrons to produce current when they were enriched on anode an air cathode...
