This study reports the immobilization and performance of a hydrocarbon-degrading Rhodococcus sp. strain (designated as QBTo) on sunflower seed husks (SH) for the bioremediation of soils polluted with crude oil. The SH performance as inoculants carrier was compared with peat, which is a vegetal material traditionally used in carrier-based inoculants production. The stability of the immobilized culture under storage conditions was assessed by viability at different times when stored at 25 degrees C and 10 degrees C. The catabolic activity of immobilized and free QTBo cells introduced into sandy loam soil, freshly contaminated with crude oil, was studied in microcosms. A higher number of viable QTBo cells were recovered from the inoculants formulated with SH (QTBo-SH) after prolonged storage at 10 degrees C and 25 degrees C. The microcosms amended with QTBo-SH inoculants showed a removal of about 66% of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), whereas in those inoculated with QTBo-peat inoculants, the decrease was of about 47%. In the control microcosms (noninoculated) and liquid culture-amended soils, the TPH removal was about 28%. SH is a waste of edible oil industry, nontoxic, and biodegradable and has demonstrated to confer to the immobilized cultures greater potential to survive not only during storage but also in the soil environment, improving bioremediation process.
