Characterization of bacterial community in oil-contaminated soil and its biodegradation efficiency of high molecular weight (>C40) hydrocarbon

Balakrishnan Muthukumar et al.

Summary: Two biosurfactant producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were isolated from motor oil contaminated soil for crude oil, alkane and PAH degradation studies. The isolated strains showed efficient degradation of these hydrocarbons and higher biosurfactant production, leading to increased degradation efficiency. Their potential for biodegradation of high molecular weight hydrocarbons was demonstrated through the study.

Characterization of two novel strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on biodegradation of crude oil and its enzyme activities

Balakrishnan Muthukumar et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that two biosurfactant-producing bacterial strains, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PP3 and PP4, were able to degrade crude oil under different pH conditions. Higher biodegradation efficiency was observed in acidic conditions for PP3, while PP4 showed better performance in neutral conditions. GCMS analysis and FTIR spectra results confirmed the ability of both strains to survive and utilize crude oil hydrocarbons under acidic conditions.

Impact of biosurfactant and iron nanoparticles on biodegradation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)

Punniyakotti Parthipan et al.

Summary: In this study, the degradation efficiency of mixed PAHs, especially anthracene, pyrene, and benzo(a)pyrene, was enhanced by using a biosurfactant and iron nanoparticles. The biosurfactant increased the bioavailability of PAHs in the aqueous environment, promoting bacterial settlement and growth. Iron nanoparticles increased bacterial biomass and PAHs adsorption, facilitating PAHs utilization by the bacterial consortia.

The petroleum-degrading bacteria Alcaligenes aquatilis strain YGD 2906 as a potential source of lipopeptide biosurfactant

Drifa Yalaoui-Guellal et al.

Summary: A biosurfactant-producing and petroleum-degrading bacterium, identified as Alcaligenes aquatilis YGD 2906, was isolated from the sediments of Soummam river. The lipopeptide produced by this strain showed non-haemolytic activity, offering potential opportunities for biomedical applications. Further research is needed to optimize production and explore the antimicrobial properties of this lipopeptide.

An effort to understand and improve the anaerobic biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons: A literature review

Brian Wartell et al.

Summary: The text discusses the occurrence of oil and fuel spills in terrestrial and aquatic environments, highlighting the highly resistant compounds present in crude oil. It explores how anaerobic bacteria and archaea serve as catalysts for degradation in oxygen-depleted environments, and how new biochemical mechanisms are advancing the understanding of anaerobic transformation. Methods for accelerated and effective removal of contaminants in contaminated sites are also discussed, although further validation is needed.

Isolation and characterization of a novel rhamnolipid producer Pseudomonas sp. LGMS7 from a highly contaminated site in Ain El Arbaa region of Ain Temouchent, Algeria

Abdelkrim Chaida et al.

Summary: This study isolated and characterized a novel rhamnolipid producer, bacterium LGMS7, from hydrocarbon-contaminated soils in Algeria. LGMS7, closely related to Pseudomonas mucidolens, showed the ability to use various hydrocarbons and oils for growth, stable emulsification, and the production of rhamnolipids with excellent stability against various environmental conditions.

Evaluation of pyrene and tetracosane degradation by mixed-cultures of fungi and bacteria

Hassan Ghorbannezhad et al.

Summary: The study compared the efficiency of different microbial mixed-cultures and found that Sequential Fungal-Bacterial Mixed-Culture was more effective in degrading pyrene and tetracosane. Delayed addition of bacteria and co-contamination can increase fungal growth and pyrene degradation, while the addition of Rhamnolipid is effective in promoting degradation.
