Abstract The contamination of the environment by crude oil and its by-products, which mainly composed of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, is a widespread problem. Biodegradation by bacteria is one of the processes responsible for the removal of these pollutants. This study was conducted to determine the abilities of Burkholderia sp. B5, Ralstonia sp. B1, Pseudomonas sp. T1, and Cupriavidus sp. X5 to degrade binary mixtures of octane (representing aliphatic hydrocarbons) with benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, or xylene (BTEX as aromatic hydrocarbons) at a final concentration of 100 ppm under aerobic conditions. These strains were isolated from an enriched bacterial consortium (Yabase or Y consortium) that prefer to degrade aromatic hydrocarbon over aliphatic hydrocarbons. We found that B5 degraded all BTEX compounds more rapidly than octane. In contrast, B1, T1 and X5 utilized more of octane over BTX compounds. B5 also preferred to use benzene over octane with varying concentrations of up to 200 mg/l. B5 possesses alkane hydroxylase (alkB) and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23D) genes, which are responsible for the degradation of alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons, respectively. This study strongly supports our notion that Burkholderia played a key role in the preferential degradation of aromatic hydrocarbons over aliphatic hydrocarbons in the previously characterized Y consortium. The preferential degradation of more toxic aromatic hydrocarbons over aliphatics is crucial in risk-based bioremediation.

In the present study, the excess molar volume (VE) and the deviations in intermolecular free length (ΔLf), isentropic compressibility (Δβs), acoustic impedance (ΔZ), and ultrasonic velocity (ΔU) were calculated using the experimentally measured values of density (ρ) and ultrasonic velocity (U) of binary mixtures of an acidic organophosphoric extractant (DEHPA) with two substituted aromatic hydrocarbons, i.e., p-xylene and toluene at 303.15K and atmospheric pressure, 0.1MPa over the entire composition range of DEHPA. The results of both binary mixtures have been presented graphically and compared in terms of molecular interaction between unlike molecules of the mixtures, which outcome may be applied in the solvent extraction process.
