One cold-adapted strain, named Planococcus sp. XW-1, was isolated from the Yellow Sea. The strain can produce biosurfactant with petroleum as sole source of carbon at low temperature (4 °C). The biosurfactant was identified as glycolipid-type biosurfactant species by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It reduced the surface tension of water to 26.8 mN/m with a critical micelle concentration measurement of 60 mg/L. The produced biosurfactant possesses high surface activity at wide ranges of temperature (−18–105 °C), pH values (2–12), and salt concentrations (1–18%). The biosurfactant exhibited higher surface activity and higher growth rate of cells with hexadecane and diesel as carbon source. The strain Planococcus sp. XW-1 was also effective in degrading crude oil, after 21 days of growth at 4 °C in medium with 1% crude oil and 1% (v/v) bacteria broth, 54% of crude oil was degraded. The results suggest that Planococcus sp. XW-1 is a promising candidate for use in the bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated seawater in the Yellow Sea during winter. This study reported for the first time that Planococcus isolated from the Yellow Sea can produce biosurfactant using petroleum as the sole carbon source at low temperature (4 °C), showing its ecological role in the remediation of marine petroleum pollution.

A series of stellar models were evolved, all with a total mass of 0.65 M⊙, an initial carbon-oxygen core of mass 0.60 M⊙, an intermediate helium mantle and an outer hydrogen-rich envelope with mass varying from case to case. Although the most hydrogen-rich cases resulted in red giants, cases with ≲ 0.01 M⊙ in the hydrogen envelope evolved at high surface temperature. The early stages of development of these models are similar to observed central stars of planetary nebulae. The later stages (when the nebula should be very thin optically) still have a high luminosity; the relevance to ‘ultraviolet stars’ will be discussed.
