Exploring the Potential and Evaluating Hydrocarbon Degradation by Novel Antarctic Dietzia and Pusillimonas Isolates From a Pristine Environment. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepThe Antarctic Dietzia and Pusillimonas isolates were tested for bioremediation applications. Genomic analyses revealed the potential to degrade complex organic compounds, potential virulence factors and resistance genes. Physiological assays showed a wide range of adaptation to abiotic factors and sensitivity to different groups of antibiotics ...

Metabolic diversity of aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria from a petroleum-contaminated aquifer [PDF]
Biodegradation, 1994 We characterized bacteria from contaminated aquifers for their ability to utilize aromatic hydrocarbons under hypoxic (oxygen-limiting) conditions (initial dissolved oxygen concentration about 2 mg/l) with nitrate as an alternate electron acceptor. This is relevant to current intense efforts to establish favorable conditions for in situ bioremediation.

Reduction of Surface Tension of Petroleum Using Hydrocarbon Degrading Bacterial Activity
ASM Science Journal, 2022 Hydrocarbon degrading bacteria produce biosurfactants, which facilitate the biodegradation process. This is the first step towards getting access to interactions between the bacteria's hydrophilic surface and the hydrophobic surface of the hydrocarbons ...

Bioremediation of soil polluted with oil [PDF]
Acta Agriculturae Serbica, 2021 Microplastics have reached all corners of our planet, including soil and water. Plastic-degrading bacteria are seen as a promising, environmentally friendly tool for the bioremediation of soil polluted with microplastics. The petroleum origin of plastics

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2022 Abstract Diesel oil is considered one of the important products of crude oil which constitute a vital source of pollution in the environment. Biodegradation of complex hydrocarbon requires cooperation of more than a single species. This is true in case of pollutants made up of crude oil or petroleum.

Microbial Communities across Global Marine Basins Show Important Compositional Similarities by Depth
mBio, 2020 The environmental surveys following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) spill identified a variety of hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms, and laboratory studies with field-collected water samples then demonstrated faster-than-expected hydrocarbon ...

Screening of Bacteria Isolated from Refinery Sludge of Assam for Hydrocarbonoclastic Activities
Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2020 Oily sludge generated by petroleum industries results in serious hazards to the environment due to its toxic effects. Microorganisms can survive in the harsh environment utilizing the pollutants as their sole source of carbon and energy.

Marine crude-oil biodegradation: a central role for interspecies interactions [PDF]
, 2012 The marine environment is highly susceptible to pollution by petroleum, and so it is important to understand how microorganisms degrade hydrocarbons, and thereby mitigate ecosystem damage. Our understanding about the ecology, physiology, biochemistry and
