The aim of this work was to isolate PAH degrading-bacteria from contaminated Patagonia soil with the ability to tolerate the usual environmental stresses (oligotrophic and dryness conditions). Two approaches were utilized to obtain PAH-degrading bacteria from the Patagonian soil. With a traditional enrichment approach only the PAH- degrading strain 36 was isolated. Using a direct isolation approach three PAH-degrading strains (1A, 22A and 22B) were isolated. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that all isolates belonged to Sphingomonas genus. The PAH degrading activity and the resistance to stress conditions of the strains were determined and compared with those of the exogenous PAH-degrading Sphingomonas paucimobilis 20006FA. The strains 1A, 22A and 36 were phylogenetically closely related between them and with the strain 20006FA. The strain 22B, that showed a different phylogenetic position, was more resistant to C-starvation and drying conditions than other Patagonian strains. The effect of the inoculation of these strains on phenanthrene-induced mineralization and elimination was studied in Patagonian soil artificially contaminated, at different environmental conditions. The results suggest that strain 22B is the most suitable strain for bioaugmentation in PAH-contaminated soils of Central Patagonia, due to its adaptation to the usual environmental conditions. Our results show the importance of a detailed physiological characterization of isolates for autochthonous bioaugmentation strategies success. 相似文献

The aim of the research was to verify if a Sphingobium chlorophenolicum strain C3R was effective in the degradation of phenanthrene (Ph) in agricultural soil co-contaminated by metals and mixtures of PAHs. The presence of PAHs in mixtures produced interactive effects which could either increase or decrease the utilization rate of Ph by C3R and by the native bacterial microflora. Bioaugmentation significantly improved the biodegradation rate of Ph in the presence of both cadmium and arsenic and PAH mixtures. The augmented C3R strain persisted in inoculated microcosms as monitored by the DGGE analysis and outcompeted some indigenous bacteria. The potential role of the soil bacteria in PAH degradation could be envisaged. The results indicate the applicability of S. chlorophenolicum C3R toward in situ bioremediation of sites contaminated with phenanthrene alone or co-contaminated with low molecular weight PAHs and with cadmium and arsenate. 相似文献

Three bacterial strains able to use different aromatic compounds as the sole carbon and energy source were tested for their potential to degrade Aroclor 1221 in soil microcosms when present in mixed culture. Disappearance of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), occurrence of metabolites, release of chloride, and survival of the laboratory-selected strains were investigated under different conditions. In principle, complete mineralization of various congeners of Aroclor 1221, a technical mixture of PCBs, by the mixed culture was possible. The autochthonous microflora negatively affected the degradation due to formation of a toxic compound from 4-chlorobenzoate. 4-Chlorobenzoate was produced by one of the added strains, Pseudomonas sp. JHK, during degradation of 4-chlorobiphenyl. The unknown metabolite of 4-chlorobenzoate led to a rapid decrease in viable counts of the laboratory-selected strains in the soil microcosm.Correspondence to: J. Havel 相似文献

Adsorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by soil particles: influence on biodegradability and biotoxicity 总被引:28,自引:0,他引:28

Summary Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) biodegradation was investigated in contaminated soils from two different industrial sites under simulated land treatment conditions. Soil samples from a former impregnation plant (soil A) showed high degradation rates of PAHs by the autochthonous microorganisms, whereas PAHs in material of a closed-down coking plant (soil B) were not degraded even after inoculation with bacteria known to effectively degrade PAHs. As rapid PAH biodegradation in soil B was observed after PAHs were extracted and restored into the extracted soil material, the kind of PAH binding in soil B appears to completely prevent biodegradation. Sorption of PAHs onto extracted material of soil B follows a two-phase process (fast and slow); the latter is discussed in terms of migration of PAHs into soil organic matter, representing less accessible sites within the soil matrix. Such sorbed PAHs are suggested to be non-bioavailable and thus non-biodegradable. By eluting soil B with water, no biotoxicity, assayed as inhibition of bioluminescence, was detected in the aqueous phase. When treating soil A analogously, a distinct toxicity was observed, which was reduced relative to the amount of activated carbon added to the soil material. The data suggest that sorption of organic pollutants onto soil organic matter significantly affects biodegradability as well as biotoxicity. 相似文献

Enumeration and characterization of the soil microflora from hydrocarbon-contaminated soil sites able to mineralize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
The use of a plate screening technique allowed the direct isolation and quantification of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading bacteria from different soil sites. Bacteria that were able to grow on anthracene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene or pyrene as a sole carbon source were found with numbers between 103 and 105 colony-forming units (cfu)/g of soil dry weight, but only in samples that originated from PAH-contaminated sites. No isolates were found that could grow on perylene, triphenylene, benzo(a)pyrene or chrysene as sole carbon source. Bacteria that had been selected on the same PAH substrate showed a related degradation pattern for both other PAH and oil compounds and carbohydrate substrates even if they had been collected at distant soil sites. Based on these findings the isolates could be clustered into four different catabolic and taxonomic similarity groups. Taxonomic determination of representative isolates suggested that nocardioform actinomycetes of the genera Mycobacterium, Rhodococcus and Gordona represented a major part of the soil microflora able to mineralize PAH. Three new isolates able to grow on anthracene, pyrene or fluoranthene as the sole carbon source, respectively, have been isolated and identified (Sphingomonas paucimobilis BA2, Gordona sp. BP9, Mycobacterium sp. VF1). The ubiquitous presence of a potent and versatile mineralizing microflora in PAH-contaminated soils indicated that the microflora is not the limiting factor for the degradation of PAH with up to four rings. 相似文献

Carbon partitioning and residue formation during microbial degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in soil and soil-compost mixtures were examined by using [14C]anthracenes labeled at different positions. In native soil 43.8% of [9-14C]anthracene was mineralized by the autochthonous microflora and 45.4% was transformed into bound residues within 176 days. Addition of compost increased the metabolism (67.2% of the anthracene was mineralized) and decreased the residue formation (20. 7% of the anthracene was transformed). Thus, the higher organic carbon content after compost was added did not increase the level of residue formation. [14C]anthracene labeled at position 1,2,3,4,4a,5a was metabolized more rapidly and resulted in formation of higher levels of residues (28.5%) by the soil-compost mixture than [14C]anthracene radiolabeled at position C-9 (20.7%). Two phases of residue formation were observed in the experiments. In the first phase the original compound was sequestered in the soil, as indicated by its limited extractability. In the second phase metabolites were incorporated into humic substances after microbial degradation of the PAH (biogenic residue formation). PAH metabolites undergo oxidative coupling to phenolic compounds to form nonhydrolyzable humic substance-like macromolecules. We found indications that monomeric educts are coupled by C-C- or either bonds. Hydrolyzable ester bonds or sorption of the parent compounds plays a minor role in residue formation. Moreover, experiments performed with 14CO2 revealed that residues may arise from CO2 in the soil in amounts typical for anthracene biodegradation. The extent of residue formation depends on the metabolic capacity of the soil microflora and the characteristics of the soil. The position of the 14C label is another important factor which controls mineralization and residue formation from metabolized compounds. 相似文献

Degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with three to seven aromatic rings by higher fungi in sterile and unsterile soils 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Seven commercial 3- to 7-ring (R) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) as well as PAH derived from lignite tar were spiked into 3 soils (0.8 to 9.7% of organic carbon). The disappearance of the original PAH was determined for the freshly spiked soils, for soils incubated for up to 287 d with their indigenous microflora, and for autoclaved, unsterile and pasteurized soils inoculated with basidiomycetous and ascomycetous fungi. Three to 12 d after spiking, 22 to 38% of the PAH could no longer be recovered from the soils. At 287 d, 88.5 to 92.7%, 83.4 to 87.4%, and 22.0 to 42.1% of the 3-, 4-, and 5- to 7-R PAH, respectively, had disappeared from the unsterile, uninoculated soils. In 2 organic-rich sterile soils, the groups of wood- and straw-degrading, terricolous, and ectomycorrhizal fungi reduced the concentration of 5 PAH by 12.6, 37.9, and 9.4% in 287 d. Five- to 7-R PAH were degraded as efficiently as most of the 3- to 4-R PAH. In organic-rich unsterile soils inoculated with wood- and straw-degrading fungi, the degradation of 3- to 4-R PAH was not accelerated by the presence of fungi.The 5- to 7-R PAH, which were not attacked by bacteria, were degraded by fungi to 29 to 42% in optimum combinations of fungal species and soil type. In organic-poor unsterile soil, these same fungi delayed the net degradation of PAH possibly for 2 reasons. Mycelia of Pleurotus killed most of the indigenous soil bacteria expected to take part in the degradation of PAH, whereas those of Hypholoma and Stropharia promoted the development of opportunistic bacteria in the soil, which must not necessarily be PAH degraders. Contemporarily, the contribution of the fungi themselves to PAH degradation may be negligible in the absence of soil organic matter due to the lower production of ligninolytic enzymes. It is concluded that fungi degrade PAH irrespective of their molecular size in organic-rich and wood chip-amended soils which promote fungal oxidative enzyme production. 相似文献

This study investigated the effect of inoculation of white rot fungus, Pleurotus ostreatus, temperature and two pre-treatment methods on PAH degradation in aged creosote contaminated soil. It is shown that Pleurotus ostreatus has an overall positive effect on PAH degradation, and that temperature and soil pre-treatment affect this degradation. In general, adding bark and incubating at 22°C before inoculation with white rot fungi has a better effect on PAH degradation than no pre-treatment, or pre-treatment with fertilizer. At low temperature (8°C) fungal inoculation had best effect when fertilizer was not added, and significant effect on degradation on different groups of PAH compounds, except for the more easily degradable compounds, 3-ring PAHs and heterocyclic compounds was obtained. Pre-treatment with fertilizer stimulated microbial activity at low temperature and enhanced PAH degradation even without addition of fungi. 相似文献

The oxalate–carbonate pathway involves the oxidation of calcium oxalate to low‐magnesium calcite and represents a potential long‐term terrestrial sink for atmospheric CO 2. In this pathway, bacterial oxalate degradation is associated with a strong local alkalinization and subsequent carbonate precipitation. In order to test whether this process occurs in soil, the role of bacteria, fungi and calcium oxalate amendments was studied using microcosms. In a model system with sterile soil amended with laboratory cultures of oxalotrophic bacteria and fungi, the addition of calcium oxalate induced a distinct pH shift and led to the final precipitation of calcite. However, the simultaneous presence of bacteria and fungi was essential to drive this pH shift. Growth of both oxalotrophic bacteria and fungi was confirmed by qPCR on the frc (oxalotrophic bacteria) and 16S rRNA genes, and the quantification of ergosterol (active fungal biomass) respectively. The experiment was replicated in microcosms with non‐sterilized soil. In this case, the bacterial and fungal contribution to oxalate degradation was evaluated by treatments with specific biocides (cycloheximide and bronopol). Results showed that the autochthonous microflora oxidized calcium oxalate and induced a significant soil alkalinization. Moreover, data confirmed the results from the model soil showing that bacteria are essentially responsible for the pH shift, but require the presence of fungi for their oxalotrophic activity. The combined results highlight that the interaction between bacteria and fungi is essential to drive metabolic processes in complex environments such as soil. 相似文献

Bioaugmentation of soil polluted with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is often disappointing because of the low survival rate and low activity of the introduced degrader bacteria. We therefore investigated the possibility of priming PAH degradation in soil by adding 2% of bioremediated soil with a high capacity for PAH degradation. The culturable PAH-degrading community of the bioremediated primer soil was dominated by Mycobacterium spp. A microcosm containing pristine soil artificially polluted with PAHs and primed with bioremediated soil showed a fast, 100- to 1,000-fold increase in numbers of culturable phenanthrene-, pyrene-, and fluoranthene degraders and a 160-fold increase in copy numbers of the mycobacterial PAH dioxygenase gene pdo1. A nonpolluted microcosm primed with bioremediated soil showed a high rate of survival of the introduced degrader community during the 112 days of incubation. A nonprimed control microcosm containing pristine soil artificially polluted with PAHs showed only small increases in the numbers of culturable PAH degraders and no pdo1 genes. Initial PAH degradation rates were highest in the primed microcosm, but later, the degradation rates were comparable in primed and nonprimed soil. Thus, the proliferation and persistence of the introduced, soil-adapted degraders had only a marginal effect on PAH degradation. Given the small effect of priming with bioremediated soil and the likely presence of PAH degraders in almost all PAH-contaminated soils, it seems questionable to prime PAH-contaminated soil with bioremediated soil as a means of large-scale soil bioremediation. 相似文献

Computer-aided comparison of protein electrophoretic patterns for grouping and identification of heterotrophic bacteria from mineral water 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

The microflora of a natural mineral water was studied immediately after bottling (T0) and after 7 d storage (T7) during 6 months, and isolates were clustered by SDS-PAGE of wholecell protein profiles. Isolates from each cluster were further characterized by API 20NE, fatty acid composition and quinone profiles. The numerical analysis of the electrophoregrams of all bacteria isolated from the mineral water formed 15 clusters and five unclustered strains. Except for five minor clusters, all clusters were composed of strains isolated over several months. The numerical analysis of the electrophoregrams of bacteria isolated immediately after bottling formed 15 clusters while after 7 d storage only four of these populations could be isolated, indicating that populations present in the mineral water were stable and that changes occurring after bottling probably resulted from a selection process. Only one unclustered strain was identified simultaneously by all the systems, as Sphingomonas paucimobilis. The monitoring of the aquifer and the bottling system, and the construction of a large database with bacteria of the autochthonous flora allows the detection of alterations in the aquifer by changes in the microflora. 相似文献

Contamination of soil by petroleum products is a global concern. Microbial-based bioremediation strategies could be cost-effective alternatives to other remediation methods; however, they should be site-tailored to guarantee effectiveness and success. The present paper illustrates data on autochthonous microbial communities in a hydrocarbon pollute soil, considering not only bacteria, but also yeasts and filamentous fungi as strains with pollutant degradation capability. The interesting strains were identified as members of the genus Pseudomonas, Rhodotorula, Yarrowia, Penicillium and Aspergillus. Preliminary tests for consortium assemblage were carried out to evaluate the selected strains as possible inoculum in biotreatment via autochthonous bioaugmentation (ABA). 相似文献

Microbial degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soils affected by the organic matrix of compost 总被引:27,自引:0,他引:27
This paper describes the degradation of naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, and pyrene in soil and soil/compost mixtures. Compost addition facilitated the degradation of 500 mg naphthalene/kg soil and 100 mg/kg each of other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) within 25 days in soil systems with water contents below the water-holding capacity. By means of a humic acid extraction, it was demonstrated that the decrease of PAH concentrations after compost addition was not caused by a sorption to organic matter preventing PAH analysis. The enhanced PAH degradation was examined in a series of batch experiments with contaminated soil to evaluate whether the effect of compost addition is caused by the microorganisms of the compost itself, by the properties of the organic matrix of the compost material, or by water-soluble fertilising substances. The experiments revealed that the release of fertilising substances from the compost and the shift of soil pH brought about by the compost did not cause the stimulatory effect. The microorganisms inherent to the compost were also not necessary for the enhanced degradation. Sterilised compost was recolonised by soil microorganisms after a lagphase yielding a degradation activity similar to that of the non-sterilised compost. The presence of the solid organic matrix of the compost seemed to be essential for the enhanced degradation. The soil/compost microflora, which was separated from the organic matrix in liquid cultures, exhibited a much lower degrading activity than in the presence of the solid organic material. 相似文献

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading bacteria capable of growing under electrokinetic conditions were isolated using an adjusted acclimation and enrichment procedure based on soil contaminated with heavy PAHs in the presence of an electric field. Their ability to degrade heavy PAHs under an electric field was individually investigated in artificially contaminated soils. The results showed that strains PB4 (Pseudomonas fluorescens) and FB6 (Kocuria sp.) were the most efficient heavy PAH degraders under electrokinetic conditions. They were re-inoculated into a polluted soil from an industrial site with a PAH concentration of 184.95 mg kg?1. Compared to the experiments without an electric field, the degradation capability of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Kocuria sp. was enhanced in the industrially polluted soil under electrokinetic conditions. The degradation extents of total PAHs were increased by 15.4 and 14.0 % in the electrokinetic PB4 and FB6 experiments (PB4 + EK and FB6 + EK) relative to the PB4 and FB6 experiments without electrokinetic conditions (PB4 and FB6), respectively. These results indicated that P. fluorescens and Kocuria sp. could efficiently degrade heavy PAHs under electrokinetic conditions and have the potential to be used for the electro-bioremediation of PAH-contaminated soil, especially if the soil is contaminated with heavy PAHs. 相似文献

Differently directed effects from autochthonous algae and bacteria on allochthonous microflora in hyperosmotic conditions were revealed and analyzed. Living halophilic microorganisms increase survival time of enterobacteria. Cellular extracts from halophils decrease storage time of allochthonous bacteria in a highly mineralized medium. Allochthonous bacteria in hyperosmotic conditions are able to suppress viability of autochthonous halophilic microflora. Symbiotic interactions between autochthonous and allochthonous microorganisms, defined by correlation of protective and antagonistic effects, regulate survival of microorganisms in hyperhaline water reservours and can be used for the assessment of their ecological and sanitary-and-hygienic states. 相似文献

Characterization of aerobic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria from Bizerte lagoon sediments, Tunisia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Aims: To characterize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)‐degrading bacteria from sediments of the Bizerte lagoon, and to determine their ability to resist other pollutants such as antibiotics and heavy metals. Methods and Results: More than 100 strains were isolated for their ability to use fluoranthene as the sole carbon and energy source. Most of them showed antibiotic and heavy metal resistance; 20 representative strains were selected for further analysis. 16S rRNA coding sequences analysis showed that the majority of the selected bacteria (75%) were affiliated to the Gammaproteobacteria. The selected strains also utilized high molecular weight PAHs containing up to four benzene rings and showed different profiles of PAH substrate usage suggesting different PAH degradation pathways. These results are consistent with the fact that nah‐like genes and idoA‐like genes, involved in PAH degradation, were detected in 6 and 1 strains respectively. Conclusions: The Bizerte lagoon, polluted by many human activities, leads to the co‐selection of strains able to cope with multiple contaminants. Significance and Impact of the Study: Polluted areas are often characterized by the concomitant presence of organic pollutants, heavy metals and antibiotics. This study is one of the first showing bacterial strains adapted to multiple contaminants, a promising potential for the development of bioremediation processes. 相似文献

Two strains of bacteria were isolated from creosote-contaminated Puget Sound sediment based on their ability to utilize naphthalene as a sole carbon and energy source. When incubated with a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compound in artificial seawater, each strain also degraded 2-methylnaphthalene and 1-methylnaphthalene; in addition, one strain, NAG-2N-113, degraded 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene and phenanthrene. Acenaphthene was not degraded when it was used as a sole carbon source but was degraded by both strains when it was incubated with a mixture of seven other PAHs. Degenerate primers and the PCR were used to isolate a portion of a naphthalene dioxygenase iron-sulfur protein (ISP) gene from each of the strains. A phylogenetic analysis of PAH dioxygenase ISP deduced amino acid sequences showed that the genes isolated in this study were distantly related to the genes encoding naphthalene dioxygenases of Pseudomonas and Burkholderia strains. Despite the differences in PAH degradation phenotype between the new strains, the dioxygenase ISP deduced amino acid fragments of these organisms were 97.6% identical. 16S ribosomal DNA-based phylogenetic analysis placed these bacteria in the gamma-3 subgroup of the Proteobacteria, most closely related to members of the genus Oceanospirillum. However, morphologic, physiologic, and genotypic differences between the new strains and the oceanospirilla justify the creation of a novel genus and species, Neptunomonas naphthovorans. The type strain of N. naphthovorans is strain NAG-2N-126. 相似文献

In water microcosm experiments, the survival times of Campylobacter isolates differed by up to twofold, as determined by culturing; this difference increased to fourfold when particular combinations of temperature and oxygenation were used. The mean survival times were much longer at 4 and 10°C (202 and 176 h, respectively) than at 22 and 37°C (43 and 22 h, respectively). The influence of anaerobiosis on survival time was less dramatic and differed considerably between isolates. In a two-stage water distribution model preparation containing a biofilm consisting of standardized autochthonous water microflora, Campylobacter isolates continued to differ in survival time. However, the survival times of cultures were considerably longer in the presence of the autochthonous water microflora (strains CH1 and 9752 survived 700 and 360 h, respectively, at 4°C) than in the sterile microcosms (strains CH1 and 9752 survived 230 and 157 h, respectively). Although increased temperature and oxygenation were generally detrimental to culturability, the interaction of these two factors influenced the two strains examined differently. When the organisms were grown aerobically at 30°C, the survival of the two strains was reversed; aerobiosis decreased the survival time of strain CH1 by 30%, but unexpectedly improved the persistence time of strain 9752 by more than threefold. Persistence times within biofilms were much longer when they were determined by detection methods not involving culturing. Immunofluorescent-antibody staining demonstrated that the pathogen persisted up to the termination of the experiments after 28 and 42 days of incubation at 30 and 4°C, respectively. The specificity of detection within intact biofilms was reduced because of high background fluorescence. However, preliminary studies with a Campylobacter-specific rRNA probe revealed the same extended persistence of the pathogen within the biofilms. 相似文献
