从柴油污染土壤中筛选分离出一株萘降解菌N-3,进行了菌种鉴定及萘双加氧酶基因(nah)验证,并考察了该菌对不同种类多环芳烃(PAHs)的降解能力及降解过程中脱氢酶活性的变化。实验结果表明:该菌为铜绿假单胞菌(Pseudomonas aeruginosa),含有nah基因;当分别对液体培养基中质量浓度为50 mg/L的萘、菲、蒽、芘、芴降解84 h时,菌株N-3对萘、菲、蒽、芘、芴的降解率分别为28.81%,34.83%,36.65%,27.50%,23.47%。菌株N-3的脱氢酶活性与其对不同PAHs的降解率呈一定的正相关性。该菌不仅能有效降解萘,且对其他种类PAHs也有一定降解作用。     

Comparative degradation between heavy and light crude oil mediated by nitrogen‐induced cell‐surface hydrophobicity

A bacterial strain UKMP‐10M2 isolated from a Malaysian petroleum refinery was able to degrade 84% of heavy Khafji sour crude and 68% of light Tapis sweet crude within seven days. Analysis of gas chromatography‐flame ionization detector chromatograms show the strain UKMP‐10M2 degraded up to 90% pristane and 50% phytane in heavy crude, but significantly lower pristane (50%) and phytane (30%) were degraded from the light crude. A mixture of aliphatic hexadecane and three‐ring phenanthrene better supported the growth of isolate UKMP‐10M2 compared to using phenanthrene alone, suggesting cometabolism influenced how crude oil with different individual hydrocarbon contents affected the degradation. Peptone as the source of nitrogen increases the emulsifying index in UKMP‐10M2 exposed to heavy Khafji sour crude 20% higher than in light Tapis sweet crude. However, BATH assay showed the same nitrogen source increases bacterial cell surface hydrophobicity of UKMP‐10M2 up to 14% higher in light Tapis crude oil compared to heavy Khafji. This study suggest the nitrogen source plays a decisive role in elevating UKMP‐10M2 bacterial cells hydrophobicity, and in correlation with types of crude oil. Phylogenetic tree analysis based on 16S rDNA sequence results identified the strain to be Rhodococcus ruber.

The efficacy of an oxidation pond in mineralizing some industrial waste products with special reference to fluorene degradation: a case study

The efficacy of the oxidation pond on the outskirts of the 10th of Ramadan, the main industrial city, in Egypt was examined. Samples of wastewater collected from the inlet and the outlet were screened for some priority pollutants. Acenaphthene and fluorene were the most frequently detected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, while dimethyl phthalate was the most frequently detected phthalate ester. The spectrum of pollutants, their concentrations and frequencies were similar in the inlet and the outlet, indicating an inferior mineralization capability of the pond. Several degradative bacterial strains were isolated from the pond and grown on M56 minimal media supplemented with different pollutants as the carbon source. The efficacy of pure and mixed cultures to break down fluorene, the most frequently detected pollutant was examined. Fluorene degradation was fast in the first 10 days, then followed by a slow phase. Mixed culture had a higher rate of fluorene degradation in comparison to pure cultures. High performance liquid chromatography analysis of fluorene degradation showed three degradative metabolites. But GC/MS analysis detected one compound, identified as acetamide. The present work has indicated the poor efficacy of the pond. Lack of primary treatment of industrial effluent at factory level, coupled with shock loads of toxicants that may damage the microorganisms and their degradative capabilities are presumably main factors behind such inferior performance. Moreover, the type of pollutants discharged into the pond tend to fluctuate and change depending on the rate from the factories discharge and work shifts. Such irregular feeding of persistent pollutants may have led to a wash out of specialized strains of bacteria capable to degrade such persistent pollutants.     

Factors affecting polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon biodegradation by Aspergillus flavus

This study investigated the ability of fungi isolated from highly contaminated soil to biodegrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds, as well as the effect of several parameters on the biodegradation ability of these fungi. The isolated fungi were identified using ITS rDNA sequencing and tested using 2,6‐dichlorophinolendophenol to determine their preliminary ability to degrade crude oil. The top‐performing fungi, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus fumigatus, were selected to test their ability to biodegrade PAH compounds as single isolates. After 15 days of incubation, A. flavus degraded 82.7% of the total PAH compounds, with the complete degradation of six compounds, whereas A. fumigatus degraded 68.9% of the total PAHs, with four aromatic compounds completely degraded. We also tested whether different temperatures, pH, and nitrogen sources influenced the growth of A. flavus and the degradation rate. The degradation process was optimal at a temperature of 30°C, pH of 5.5, and with nitrogen in the form of yeast extract. Finally, the ability of the fungal candidate, A. flavus, to degrade PAH compounds under these optimum conditions was studied. The results showed that 95.87% of the total PAHs, including 11 aromatic compounds, were completely degraded after 15 days of incubation. This suggests that A. flavus is a potential microorganism for the degradation of PAH compounds in aqueous cultures.     

Isolation of a fungus from denitrifying activated sludge that degrades highly chlorinated dioxins

 This article reports the potential of denitrifying activated sludge to degrade highly chlorinated dioxins, especially from a (landfill) leacheate treatment plant in Japan, and the isolation from this denitrifying activated sludge of a microorganism able to degrade highly chlorinated dioxins. Using a 700-ml bioreactor, denitrifying activated sludge was cultivated under denitrifying conditions by adding 2.0 ng of a mixture of 4- to 8-chlorinated dioxins from fly ash. The dioxin contents of the sample, effluent, and medium before and after cultivation were measured by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). After 7 days cultivation, about 90% of added dioxins were lost (average percentage of isomer depletion). A dioxin-degrading microorganism was isolated from the activated sludge. Lignin was added to the medium as a color indicator of aromatic compound degradation, and the lignin-decolorizing microorganisms in the denitrifying activated sludge were screened. Some strains were isolated, and one major isolated fungus, strain 622, decolorized lignin effectively. Strain 622 was identified as an Acremonium sp. from its morphological characteristics. It could decolorize lignin by 24% under paraffin-sealed anaerobic conditions. After the cultivation of strain 622 with a 2 ng/ml mixture of 4- to 8-chlorinated dioxins for 1 day, 82% (average for individual isomers) of the added 4- to 8-chlorinated dioxins had been degraded. Added octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (OCDD, 100 ng) was degraded under aerobic conditions after 8 h of incubation. During this process, heptachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin was produced and appeared to be a degradation product of OCDD. 1- or 2-hydroxydibenzo-p-dioxin from OCDD was also identified as the degradation product by GC–MS. These results indicated that OCDD was degraded to the nonchlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins through dechlorination by Acremonium sp. strain 622. Received: October 12, 2001 / Accepted: March 11, 2002     

Complete Degradation of Hexahydro‐1,3,5‐Trinitro‐1,3,5‐Triazine (RDX) by a Co‐Culture of Gordonia sp. KTR9 and Methylobacterium sp. JS178

The presence of hexahydro‐1,3,5‐trinitro‐1,3,5‐triazine (RDX) in soil and groundwater is a major contamination issue at many military facilities around the world. Gordonia sp. KTR9 metabolizes RDX as a nitrogen source for growth producing 4‐nitro‐2,4‐diazabutanal (NDAB) as a dead‐end product. Methylobacterium sp. strain JS178 degrades NDAB as a sole source of nitrogen for growth. A mixed culture of strains KTR9 and JS178 was able to completely degrade RDX. There was no difference in rate of RDX degradation by KTR9 alone or in co‐culture with JS178. The first‐order degradation coefficients of RDX and NDAB in the co‐culture were 0.08 hr^?1 and 0.002 hr^?1, respectively. In the co‐culture that initially contained RDX plus NDAB, strain JS178 degraded the NDAB that was produced by KTR9 as shown by a decrease in the molar yield of NDAB (from RDX) from 1.0 to –0.11. Co‐cultures of strains KTR9 and JS178 could be used to promote complete degradation of RDX in soils or groundwater. ©2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Degradation of Poly(Ethylene Glycol)-Based Nonionic Surfactants by Different Bacterial Isolates from River Water

Different bacterial strains able to attack polyoxyethylene-type nonionic surfactants were isolated by enrichment procedure from the surface waters of the Arno River. Alkylphenol polyethoxylates and alkyl polyethoxylates, as well as polyethylene glycols, were degraded and assimilated by bacterial strains in axenic cultures. Degradative routes of polyethyleneoxide chains were investigated by matching each bacterial isolate with several types of nonionic surfactants and polyethers and by the identification of their degradation products isolated during aerobic digestion experiments. In accordance with previous reports, the first attack led to the shortening of the poly(oxyethylene) chains of the nonionic surfactants. It was found that the strains able to degrade PEG segments of nonionic surfactants possess enzymatic systems unable to degrade free PEGs, whereas those degrading the latter substrates cannot degrade PEG segments coupled to hydrophobic moieties.

Biodegradation of Whey Protein-Based Edible Films

The biodegradability of the edible films made of whey proteins by disulfide cross-linking was investigated. Whey protein concentrate (WPC) and whey protein isolate (WPI) films were subjected to microbial degradation using Pseudomonas aeruginosa and composting burial degradation. Results from the microbial degradation showed that whey protein films could support the growth of P. aeruginosa. The bacterial growth characteristics were well described using the Gompertz model. WPC films degraded faster than WPI films, suggesting that the biodegradability of protein films is associated with the film composition and the extent of covalent cross-linking. WPI films buried in a compost pile began to degrade in two days and became darker over time. More than 80% of total solids were lost in 7 days.

Degradable polymers: The role of the degradation environment

The degradability of several degradable polymers was examined using three types of degradation environments. These include exposure in a laboratory-scale composting test system containing material representative of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (MSW), exposure in a thermal hydrolytic environment consisting of water at 60‡C, and exposure in a thermal-oxidative, dry oven environment of 60‡C. The results of the investigation clearly indicate that, in addition to chemical and biological activity which can lead to polymer degradation, physical restructuring and reorganization of the macromolecular structure may also occur at temperatures typically found in a compost environment, resulting in changes in the mechanical properties of the polymer films. In the case of the polyethylene-modified polymers evaluated in this study, all behaved similarly, but differently from the other polymer types. The polyethylene-based films appeared to be susceptible to oxidative degradation and should degrade in a composting environment providing that there is sufficient air in contact with the film for a sufficient period of time. However, when exposed in a laboratory composter, it appears that although ideal temperature-time curves may be obtained, the test time period was insufficient in comparison to the induction period required to achieve the desired thermal oxidative degradation.

Investigation of Biosurfactant Activity and Asphaltene Biodegradation by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bacillus cereus</Emphasis>

In this research, a biosurfactant-producing bacterium with capability of asphaltene degradation was isolated from oil-contaminated soil samples, and identified as Bacillus cereus. This strain produced an effective biosurfactant in the presence of molasses and the surface tension was reduced to the level of 36.4 mN/m after 48 h under optimum conditions. The optimum values of carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (C:N), pH, and temperature for biosurfactant production were determined as 30:1, 7.3 and 29 °C, respectively, using response surface methodology. The maximum emulsification activity in the culture broth was 53 % after 48 h using kerosene at 25 °C. The goodness of fit of four growth kinetic models including Tessier, Contois, Logistic and Westerhoff was compared for the bacterial growth and molasses utilization of B. cereus in 5-L batch bioreactor during 120 h. Conducted kinetic study showed that biosurfactant production had a good fit with the Contois growth kinetic model (R² = 0.962) and the maximum specific growth rate (µ _max ), saturation constant (K _s ) and the yield of biomass per substrate (Y _x/s ) were determined to be 0.145 h^?1, 1.83 g/L and 0.428 g/g, respectively. The asphaltene biodegradation in flask was evaluated by FTIR analysis and quantified by a spectrophotometer. This bacterium was able to degrade up to 40 % of asphaltene as a sole carbon and energy source after 60 days at 28 °C. The resulting surface tension of 30.2 mN/m with the critical micelle concentration of 23.4 mg/L indicated good efficiency of the biosurfactant.
