The rhizosphere of two turf cover sorts; Bermuda grass and American grass contained high numbers, 8.1 to 16.8 x 10(6) g(-1) of cultivable oil-utilizing and diazotrophic bacteria belonging predominantly to the genera Agrobacterium, Arthrobacter, Pseudomonas, Gordonia, and Rhodococcus. Those bacteria also grew on a nitrogen-free medium and demonstrated the ability to reduce acetylene to ethylene. These isolates grew on a wide range of n-alkanes (C9 to C40) and aromatic hydrocarbons, as sole sources of carbon. Quantitative determinations revealed that predominant bacteria consumed crude oil and representative aliphatic (n-octadecane) and aromatic (phenanthrene) hydrocarbons efficiently. The fact that those organisms had the combined activities of hydrocarbon-utilization and nitrogen-fixation makes them suitable tools for bioremediating oily desert areas that are normally poor in nitrogenous compounds. Phytoremediation experiments showed that spreading turf cover on oily desert soil inhibited oil volatilization and enhanced oil loss in soil by about 15%. Oil loss was also enhanced in turf free soil samples fertilized with NH4NO3. In conclusion, covering this oil-polluted soil with turf cover minimized atmospheric pollution, increased the numbers of the oil-utilizing/nitrogen-fixing bacteria by about 20 to 46% thus, encouraging oil attenuation. 相似文献

This paper describes the potential of oil-utilizing bacteria associated with live fish from the Arabian Gulf for hydrocarbon attenuation in seawater polluted with oil. Maintaining local live fish (grey mullet and tilapia) in seawater artificially polluted with crude oil or individual hydrocarbons for 3 w led to dramatic attenuation of those compounds. The same result was obtained when instead of live fish, the bacterial consortia scraped off from the fish surfaces were used. Almost similar hydrocarbon attenuation results were obtained irrespective of whether the system was fertilized with NH4NO3 or not. Parallel counting of oil-utilizing bacteria associated with fish on a nitrogen-containing and a nitrogen free-medium gave almost similar numbers, indicating that most of the hydrocarbon-utilizing bacteria could fix atmospheric nitrogen. The predominant hydrocarbon-utilizing bacteria isolated from fish grew well in nitrogen-free medium and gave positive nitrogenase test as revealed by their potential for acetylene reduction to ethylene. Molecular fingerprinting showed that crude oil-polluted seawater samples incubated for 3 w contained two new 16S rDNA bands probably corresponding to hydrocarbon-utilizing bacteria. It was concluded that fish individuals accommodate rich bacterial consortia with the combined potential for hydrocarbon-utilization and nitrogen-fixation, which makes them efficient in cleaning hydrocarbon pollutants in water without need for nitrogen fertilization. 相似文献

The rhizospheres and phyllospheres of peas, beans, tomatoes, and squash raised in a desert sand soil mixed with 0.5% crude oil were rich in oil-utilizing bacteria and accommodated large numbers of free-living diazotrophic bacteria, with potential for hydrocarbon utilization. According to their 16S rRNA-sequences, the cultivable oil-utilizing bacteria were affiliated with the following genera, arranged in decreasing frequency: Bacillus, Ochrobactrum, Enterobacter, Rhodococcus, Arthrobacter, Pontola, Nocardia, and Pseudoxanthomonas. Diazotrophic isolates were affiliated with Rhizobium, Bacillus, Rhodococcus, Leifsonia, Cellulosimicrobium, Stenotrophomonas, Kocuria, Arthrobacter, and Brevibacillus. The crude oil–utilizing and diazotrophic isolates grew, with varying growth intensities, on individual aliphatic (C8 to C40) and aromatic hydrocarbons, as sole sources of carbon and energy. Quantitative gas liquid chromatographic measurements showed that representative bacterial isolates eliminated pure n-hexadecane, n-decosane, phenanthrene, and crude oil from the surrounding liquid media. Cultivation of oily sand–soil samples with any of the four tested crops led to enhanced oil degradation in that soil, as compared with the degradation in uncultivated oily sand–soil samples. 相似文献

Kuwaiti habitats with two-decade history of oil pollution were surveyed for their inhabitant oil-utilizing bacterioflora. Seawater samples from six sites along the Kuwaiti coasts of the Arabian Gulf and desert soil samples collected from seven sites all over the country harbored oil-utilizing bacteria whose numbers made up 0.0001-0.01% of the total, direct, microscopic counts. The indigenous bacterioflora in various sites were affiliated to many species. This was true when counting was made on nitrogen-containing and nitrogen-free media. Seawater samples harbored species belonging predominantly to the Gammaproteobacteria and desert soil samples contained predominantly Actinobacteria. Bacterial species that grew on the nitrogen-free medium and that represented a considerable proportion of the total in all individual bacterial consortia were diazotrophic. They gave positive acetylene-reduction test and possessed the nifH genes in their genomes. Individual representative species could utilize a wide range of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, as sole sources of carbon and energy. Quantitative determination showed that the individual species consumed crude oil, n-octadecane and phenanthrene, in batch cultures. It was concluded that the indigenous microflora could be involved in bioremediation programs without bioaugmentation or nitrogen fertilization. Irrigation would be the most important practice in bioremediation of the polluted soil desert areas. 相似文献

AIMS: The objectives were to count and identify the oil-utilizing bacteria associated with fish, and to study their hydrocarbon-degradation potential. METHODS AND RESULTS: The standard dilution-plate method using a medium with crude oil as a sole source of carbon and energy revealed that 10 different fish sorts from the Arabian Gulf and two from fish farms accommodated millions of oil-utilizing bacteria per square centimetre of fish surface and per gram of gills and guts. According to their 16S rRNA sequences, those bacteria were affiliated to Psychrobacter, Vibrio, Planococcus, Pseudomonas and Actinobacterium. Planktonic and benthic biomass samples from the Gulf were also rich in oil-utilizing bacteria, but with different composition. All isolates could grow on n-alkanes from C(8) to C(40) and three representative aromatics as individual sole sources of carbon and energy. Quantitative analysis of hydrocarbons by gas-liquid chromatography revealed that the biomass samples of the individual bacteria could consume crude oil, n-octadecane and phenanthrene in liquid media. CONCLUSIONS: The abundant oil-utilizing bacterial associated with fish have the potential for cleaning oily waters. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY: Aquatic fauna accommodates rich consortia of oil-utilizing bacteria. 相似文献

Oil-oxidizing bacteria were isolated from oil-polluted soil and water samples and identified as Acinetobacter calcoaceticus K-4, Nocardia vaceinii K-8, Rhodococcus erythropolis EK-1, and Mycobacterium sp. K-2. It was found that immobilization of the bacteria on an expanded clay aggregate accelerated their growth and consumption of hydrocarbon substrates. It was also found that water polluted with 100 mg/l oil could be purified with Rhodococcus erythropolis EK-1 and Nocardia vaceinii K-8 cells immobilized in this way. The dependence of the degree of water purification on its flow rate, aeration, and availability of nitrogen and phosphorus sources was determined. The efficiency of water purification from oil by immobilized Rhodococcus erythropolis EK-1 cells at high flow rates (of up to 0.68 l/h), low aeration (of 0.1 l/l per min) and an intermittent supply of 0.01% diammonium phosphate reached 99.5-99.8%. 相似文献

Two strains of Ruminococcus flavefaciens were studied. Each grew in a chemically defined minimal medium containing: minerals; ammonium sulfate as a nitrogen source; amino acids as a nitrogen source, a growth promotant(s) or as both; cellobiose as an energy and carbon source; isobutyric acid, isovaleric acid, carbonic acid, and bicarbonate as additional carbon sources; and biotin, thiamine, and tetrahydrofolic acid as vitamins. Tetrahydrofolic acid (5 ng/ml) served as a replacement for rumen fluid that was required in previous media tested for the growth of these bacteria. The present bacteria differ from many of the ruminococci previously studied in that they do not require either p-amino-benzoic acid or folic acid but do require tetrahydrofolic acid for maximum growth. Dihydrofolic acid and 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid can substitute for tetrahydrofolic acid in minimal chemically defined medium. Thus, there must be extensive metabolic interaction between the microbes inhabitating the rumen, because the R. flavefaciens isolated had complex requirements for growth and yet was among the predominant bacteria in the rumen of cattle fed a simple vitamin B-deficient, nonprotein nitrogen, high-fiber, purified diet. 相似文献

Titanium citrate (TC) or L-cysteine-sodium sulfide was added as a reducing agent to buffers and agar media used for enumeration of bacteria from rumen contents of high-forage-fed steers. Approximately equal colony counts were found on TC and L-cysteine-sodium sulfide-reduced media with rumen contents taken 8 h postfeeding, when active bacterial growth was occurring. The colony counts on TC medium were only 56% of those with L-cysteine-sodium sulfide medium with rumen contents taken 1 h prefeeding when bacterial growth was minimal. When colonies from L-cysteine-sodium sulfide medium were transferred to TC medium and vice versa, almost all colonies grew. The data indicate that TC can be inhibitory to bacteria upon their initial isolation from natural habitats, particularly when growth rates are low in these habitats. 相似文献

We screened soil samples for CO(2)-requiring extreme oligotrophs similar to Rhodococcus erythropolis N9T-4, which can grow on a basal salt agar medium without an organic carbon source. From 387 soil samples, three isolates were obtained and identified as Streptomyces spp. by 16S rDNA analysis. The isolates required gaseous CO(2) for growth and grew on a basal salt medium solidified by silica gel. These results suggest that such CO(2)-requiring oligotrophs occur widely in nature. 相似文献

Investigations showed that Rhodococcus erythropolis E-15 and Arthrobacter globiformis 2F cells respond to osmotic shock by increasing the synthesis of free amino acids, primarily glutamic acid (80% of the intracellular free amino acid pool). The osmoprotective role of glutamic acid follows from its beneficial effect on the growth of bacteria in high-salinity media. It was found that the addition of this amino acid to the growth medium at a concentration of 2 mM shortened the lag phase and increased the growth rate and biomass yield of either of the two bacteria. The addition of another osmoprotectant, trehalose, to the high-salinity growth medium of R. erythropolis E-15 at the same concentration (2 mM), restored the growth parameters of this bacterium to the control values. 相似文献

Spores and parasporal crystals of a Bacillus thuringiensis serovar aizawai were fed to fifth instar larvae of the oriental tea tortrix, Homona magnanima, that had been reared aseptically or that had been reared normally. Viable cell numbers of B. thuringiensis and other bacteria in H. magnanima larvae were estimated by homogenization of samples and dilution plating on peptone-polymyxin agar medium for B. thuringiensis cells and on nutrient agar medium for the other bacterial cells. B. thuringiensis did not grow in the larval cadavers of normally reared H. magnanima while bacteria other than B. thuringiensis grew rapidly. In contrast, B. thuringiensis within the larval cadavers of aseptically reared H. magnanima grew and increased 20 times. The bacteria other than B. thuringiensis from the sample homogenates of normally reared larvae that were fed on B. thuringiensis-treated diets had the same characteristics as the bacteria isolated from the guts of healthy H. magnanima larvae, which were putatively identified as Streptococcus spp. and Staphylococcus spp., typical intestinal bacteria of insects. The results strongly suggest that intestinal bacteria influence the growth of B. thuringiensis in the larvae. 相似文献

We identified conditions under which Buffalo green monkey cells grew on the surfaces of cellulose nitrate membrane filters in such a way that they covered the entire surface of each filter and penetrated through the pores. When such conditions were used, poliovirus that had previously been adsorbed on the membranes infected the cells and replicated. A plaque assay method and a quantal method (most probable number of cytopathic units) were used to detect and count the viruses adsorbed on the membrane filters. Polioviruses in aqueous suspensions were then concentrated by adsorption to cellulose membrane filters and were subsequently counted without elution, a step which is necessary when the commonly used methods are employed. The pore size of the membrane filter, the sample contents, and the sample volume were optimized for tap water, seawater, and a 0.25 M glycine buffer solution. The numbers of viruses recovered under the optimized conditions were more than 50% greater than the numbers counted by the standard plaque assay. When ceftazidime was added to the assay medium in addition to the antibiotics which are typically used, the method could be used to study natural samples with low and intermediate levels of microbial pollution without decontamination of the samples. This methodological approach also allowed plaque hybridization either directly on cellulose nitrate membranes or on Hybond N+ membranes after the preparations were transferred. 相似文献

Of six strains of Ruminococcus bromii studied, five grew in a minimal chemically defined medium containing minerals, NH(4) (+) as nitrogen source, sulfide or sulfate as sulfur source, fructose as energy and carbon source, isobutyrate or 2-methylbutyrate and carbonic acid-bicarbonate as additional carbon sources, and the vitamins biotin, riboflavin, pyridoxine, vitamin B(12) (replaced by L-methionine), pantethine, and tetrahydrofolate. The strains also could utilize cysteine or thiosulfate but not methionine; and strain Z3 failed to use dithiothreitol, thioglycolate, sulfite, or beta-mercaptoethanol as sole sources of sulfur. Mixtures of amino acids, peptides (Casitone), urea, nitrate, asparagine, or glutamine failed to replace NH(4) (+) as N source. Three strains isolated from Americans were identical in nutritional features, whereas one from a Japanese and one from a South African native differed slightly in having requirements for fewer vitamins. One strain from the cecum of a sow grew well in a rumen fluid-supplemented medium but not in the various chemically defined media plus Casitone. The nutritional features suggest that the environment which selects R. bromii contains relatively little amino acid nitrogen and a relatively large amount of NH(4) (+)-N and indicate that these bacteria must depend upon other bacteria such as those that produce NH(4) (+) from urea or protein and those that produce branched-chain volatile acids to grow. 相似文献

The intra- and extracellular contents of vitamins were studied in the course of submerged cultivation of the higher basidial mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.: Fr.) Kummer st. IMBF-1300 on liquid nutrient media. This strain was found to be autotrophic in respect of thiamin (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and biotin (vitamin B7), but it failed to synthesize cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12). The composition and pH of the culture medium, containing such complex biostimulating supplements as maize extract and concentrated potato sap noticeably influence the contents of vitamins B1, B5 and B7 in the mycelium, and to a less degree they change the level of the intracellular biosynthesis of vitamins B2 and B6. Higher excretion of vitamins B5, B7 and especially B6 was observed on the semisynthetic media during the postexponential growth. Under experimental conditions vitamins B1 and B2 were accumulated only in the cells. The dry mycelium of P. ostreatus obtained by submerged cultivation on liquid media is a valuable source of B vitamins and, especially, of niacin. Thus the oyster mushroom and other edible mushrooms can be put at one of the top places among food-stuffs by the content of niacin. 相似文献

Abstract Numbers of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria were determined in grassland soils using a Most Probable Number technique. Two concentrations of nitrite were used in the incubation medium, i.e. 0.05 and 5.0 mM. The results of the enumerations were highly dependent on the nitrite concentration as well as on the grassland soil sampled. In the one soil the highest numbers were counted with 5.0 mM, whereas in other soils highest numbers were obtained in media with 0.05 mM nitrite. The spatial distribution of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria was determined i two field plots. Variation between individual samples was low in one plot and high in the other. The implications of the observed differences for the sampling procedure in each sampling plot are discussed. In the waterlogged, oxygen-limited soils, numbers of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria were as high as in the drained soils. The chemolitho-autotrophic nature of these nitrifiers has been confirmed. 相似文献

C. LEIFERT AND W.M. WAITES. 1992. When Murashige and Skoog's liquid plant medium was inoculated with 10 different bacterial species in the absence of plants only Bacillus subtilis showed significant growth. The numbers of Lactobacillus plantarum, Pseudomonas maltophilia, Erwinia carotovora and Staphylococcus saprophyticus decreased rapidly and were not detected at 28 d.
Bacillus subtilis, Lact. plantarum, Ps. maltophilia, Erw. carotovora and Staph. saprophyticus grew and persisted in the same medium in the presence of Delphinium plants, while only Lact. plantarum and Erw. carotovora grew and persisted in the presence of Hemerocallis plants.
Hemerocallis plants lowered the pH of media from 5.6 to about 3.9 while Delphinium plants increased it to about 5.9 within 7 d after subculturing on fresh media. The pH drop in Hemerocallis media is thought to prevent the growth and persistence of bacteria such as B. subtilis, Staph. saprophyticus and Ps. maltophilia , which were found to be more sensitive to low pH than Lact. plantarum and Erw. carotovora. Bacterial growth in the medium altered the pH, reduced the plant growth and/or resulted in plant death. 相似文献

We have shown in previous studies that development of 8-cell hamster embryos to hatching and hatched blastocysts in vitro is stimulated by the addition to the culture medium of a group of 11 water-soluble vitamins and growth factors from Ham's F10 medium. In the present study, the requirement for each of these vitamins for blastocyst hatching was examined by using a chemically defined protein-free medium. Eight-cell hamster embryos were cultured for 3 days either in medium with all 11 vitamins or in media with a single vitamin omitted at a time or in medium without any vitamins. The only vitamins whose omission caused a significant decrease in blastocyst hatching at any stage were inositol, pantothenate, and choline, with the omission of inositol having the most severe effect. This finding was confirmed in a subsequent experiment in which the addition of these 3 vitamins stimulated the same degree of hatching as all 11 vitamins. 相似文献

Enumeration and presumptive identification of some functional groups of bacteria in the rumen of dairy cows fed grass silage-based diets 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Abstract Samples of rumen ingesta from two rumen-fistulated dairy cows fed grass silage-based diets were examined for numbers and types of bacteria that developed colonies on rumen fluid-agar media designated to support the growth of (a) a wide range of species, (b) cellulolytic bacteria, (c) lactate-fermenting bacteria, (d) non-fermentative bacteria. The most numerous species was Bacteroides ruminicola followed by Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens . The most abundant cellulolytic species were Eubacterium cellulosolvens and Ruminococcus flavefaciens. Megasphaera elsdenii and Selenomonas ruminantium were important lactate fermenters but an unidentified bacterium that grew poorly on maintenance medium was by far the most numerous among bacteria isolated from lactate-containing medium. One strain remained sufficiently viable to show that it fermented lactate to propionate and acetate. 相似文献
