Abstract: In this study, we isolated seven strains (termed BY1–7) from polluted soil at an oil station and evaluated their abilities to degrade total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs). Among 45 bacterial colonies one bacterial strain was identified based on the cultural, morphological and biochemical characteristics. The isolated bacterium was then subjected to a preliminary assessment of their crude oil after 48 hours of incubation on nutrient agar plates overlaid with 100 ML of petroleum crude oil, the zone of clearance was observed. The isolated bacteria showed 35% petrol degradation, whereas a relatively high oil degradation rate, almost 40% was observed when the bacterium was acclimatized. The selected bacterial strains crude oil resistance was analysed based on the growth ability on the crude oil containing mediums. This strain was identified as Brevibacterium brevis. After inoculation, growth ability was measured and the highest percentage of petrol degradation occurred at temperature 37 °C with the value 30.8%. Bacteria displaying such capabilities are often exploited for the bio-remediation of petroleum oil contaminated environments. Recently, microbial remediation technology has developed rapidly and achieved major gains. However, this technology is not omnipotent. It is affected by many environmental factors that hinder its practical application, limiting the large-scale application of the technology.

This work aimed to develop a bioremediation product of lyophilized native bacteria to respond to marine oil spills. Three oil-degrading bacterial strains (two strains of Rhodococcus erythropolis and one Pseudomonas sp.), isolated from the NW Portuguese coast, were selected for lyophilization after biomass growth optimization (tested with alternative carbon sources). Results indicated that the bacterial strains remained viable after the lyophilization process, without losing their biodegradation potential. The biomass/petroleum ratio was optimized, and the bioremediation efficiency of the lyophilized bacterial consortium was tested in microcosms with natural seawater and petroleum. An acceleration of the natural oil degradation process was observed, with an increased abundance of oil-degraders after 24 h, an emulsion of the oil/water layer after 7 days, and an increased removal of total petroleum hydrocarbons (47%) after 15 days. This study provides an insight into the formulation and optimization of lyophilized bacterial agents for application in autochthonous oil bioremediation.

Petroleum oil contains a large number of poly cyclic hydrocarbons (PAH's) that are toxic to living beings. The complete degradation of petroleum oil required a population of microorganisms in the soil. In the present investigation petroleum oil contaminated soil samples were incubated with four bacterial strains (Mycobacterium sp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Alcaligenes faecalis and Enterobacter cloacae) to study the bioremediation efficacy. The soil samples were analyzed for soil reaction (pH), soil moisture content, soil organic carbon (SOC), available phosphorus (P), total petroleum hydrocarbon content (TPH), total bacterial count (TBC) and total petroleum degrading bacteria at the interval of 0 days (initial), 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks and 8 weeks prior and after treatment by bacteria. Values obtained reveals that there was a clear modulating effect of bacteria on above determinations. Maximum decrements in TPH (86%), soil pH (18.2%) and SOC (40%) were recorded in Pseudomonas aeruginosa inoculated samples.

The biostimulation potentials of carrot peel waste and carob kibbles for bioremediation of crude petroleum-oil polluted soil were investigated. Temperature, pH, moisture, total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH), and changes in microbial counts during 45 days were monitored when 4 mL of carrot peel waste or carob kibbles media were added to 200 g of crude oil polluted soil samples. Gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) was used to compare hydrocarbon present in the crude oil polluted soil and in pure fuel, composition of crude oil polluted soil was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the TPH was measured by distillation using distiller mud. The results showed that, at the end of experiments, the concentration of TPH decreased in crude oil polluted soil containing carrot peel waste with a percentage of 27 ± 1.90% followed by crude oil polluted soil containing carob kibbles (34 ± 1.80%) and in the unamended control soil (36 ± 1.27%), respectively. The log [Colony Forming Unit (CFU)/g] of total heterotrophic bacteria in the crude oil polluted soil increased from 10.46 ± 0.91 to 13.26 ± 0.84 for carrot peel waste, from 11.01 ± 0.56 to 11.99 ± 0.77 for carob kibbles and from 8.18 ± 0.39 to 8.84 ± 0.84 for control, respectively. Such results demonstrated that carrot peel could be used to enhance activities of the microbial hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria during bioremediation of crude petroleum-oil polluted soil.

Soil contamination with diesel spillage is an increasing environmental challenge that damages living ecosystems. Efficiency of single bacterium in degrading diesel oil pollutants is faced with slow performance limitation. Therefore, the use of consortia is shown to be better, due to synergism, multi-enzymatic activity and potential for diversified catabolic functionalities. This study is aimed at formulating effective bacterial consortia that can degrade diesel in polluted environments. Four diesel degrading bacteria as Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus roseus and Rhodococcus specie were isolated and used for consortia formulation. Purity testing was performed on the isolates prior to consortia formulation, before their compatibility was tested by cross-spreading them on nutrient agar. Consortia formulation was made using Bacteria resting cells in Phosphate Buffer Saline based on compatibility testing and mathematical permutations. For on their ability to survive diesel on Bushnell-Haas Agar (BHA), consortia 2, 9 and 11 showed the best results among which consortium 11 was chosen as the best, considering growths on the medium within a 72 hrs period. The growth of the organisms before consortia formulation and after was also evaluated, which suggest that the consortium perform better than individual strains. Analysis of Variance showed significant statistical differences (p<0.05) between constituents of consortia, and diesel degradation on 2% (v/v) BHA. The degradation performances of the various consortia on BHA were furthermore separated by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. The colony counts obtained indicate that degradation was performed better by the consortia than individual strains. The findings of the study contribute towards illuminating inter-microbial relationships and microbial ecology especially within groups of diesel degrading bacteria. Further studies are imperative, to maximally harness the potentials of these bacteria for applications in large scale diesel biodegradation.     Key Words: Consortia, Diesel, Bacterial Biodegradation, Haemocytometry.

AbstractWater pollution from textile effluent is now one of the major issues all over the world. Malachite Green dye of the triphenylmethane group is a key component of textile effluents. This study aimed to isolate and identify potential Malachite Green dye degrading bacteria from textile effluents. Different growth and culture parameters such as temperature, pH, inoculum-size and dye concentration were optimized to perform the dye-degradation assay using different concentrations of Malachite Green dye in mineral salt medium. A photo-electric-colorimeter was used to measure the decolorizing activity of bacteria at different time intervals after aerobic incubation. Two competent bacterial strains of Enterobacter spp. (CV-S1 and CM-S1) were isolated from textile effluents showing potential degradation efficiency against Malachite Green dye. The RAPD analysis and 16S rRNA sequencing confirmed the genetical difference of the isolated strains Enterobacter sp. CV–S1 and Enterobacter sp. CM–S1. The two bacterial strains CV-S1 and CM-S1 showed complete Malachite Green dye degradation up to 15 mg/l under shaking condition with 5% (v/v) inoculums at pH 6.50 and temperature 35°C within 72 and 144 hours respectively. These findings indicate that the two potential bacterial strains can be used in large scale treatment of textile effluents in the future.

The degradation of persistent organophosphorus pollutants have been studied in 6 soil bacterial isolates and in 3 bacterial strains adapted for utilization of glyphosate herbicide (GP) under laboratory conditions. Significant differences in the uptake of organophosphonates were found in taxonomically close strains possessing similar enzymatic pathways of catabolism of these compounds, which indicates the existence of unknown mechanisms of activity regulation of these enzymes. The effect of adaptation for GP utilization as a sole phosphorus source on assimilation rates of several other phosphonates was observed in studied bacteria. The newly found efficient stains provided up to 56% of GP decomposition after application to the soil in the laboratory. The unresolved problems of microbial GP metabolism and the trends for further research on the creation of reliable biologicals capable of decomposing organophosphonates in the environment are discussed. organophosphonates, glyphosate, biodegradation, bioremediation, C-P lyase, phosphonatase, degrading bacteria Investigation of phosphonatase and genome sequencing were supported by Russian Science Foundation Grant no. 18-074-00021.

Introduction: Fabrication of iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) has recently gained a great concern for their varied applications in remediation technologies of the environment. Objective: The current study aimed to fabricate iron nanoparticles by green technology approach using different plant sources, Azadirachta indica leaf and Calligonum comosum root following two extraction methods. Methods: Currently, a mixture of FeCl2 and FeCl3 was used to react with the plant extracts which are considered as reducing and stabilizing agents for the generation of FeNPs in one step. Different techniques were used for FeNPs identification. Results: Immediately after mixing of the two reaction components, the color changed to dark brown as an indication of safe conversion of Fe ions to FeNPs, that later confirmed by zeta sizer, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). FeNPs fabricated by C. comosum showed smaller size when compared by those fabricated by A. indica. Using both plant sources, FeNPs fabricated by the aqueous extract had smaller size in relation to those fabricated by ethanolic extract. Furthermore, antibacterial ability against two bacterial strains was approved. Conclusion: The current results indicated that, at room temperature plant extracts fabricated Fe ion to Fe nanoparticles, suggesting its probable usage for large scale production as well as its suitability against bacteria. It could also be recommended for antibiotic resistant bacteria.
