AIMS: To characterize some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)-degrading microorganisms isolated from an enriched consortium degrading high molecular weight (HMW) PAHs in a two-liquid-phase (TLP) soil slurry bioreactor, and to determine the effect of low molecular weight (LMW) PAH on their growth and HMW PAH-degrading activity. METHODS AND RESULTS: Several microorganisms were isolated from a HMW-PAH (pyrene, chrysene, benzo[a]pyrene and perylene) degrading consortium enriched in TLP cultures using silicone oil as the organic phase. From 16S rRNA analysis, four isolates were identified as Mycobacterium gilvum B1 (99% identity),Bacillus pumilus B44 (99% identity), Microbacterium esteraromaticum B21 (98% identity), and to the genus Porphyrobacter B51 (96% identity). The two latter isolates have not previously been associated with PAH degradation. Isolate B51 grew strongly in the interfacial fraction in the presence of naphthalene vapours and phenanthrene compared with cultures without LMW PAHs. Benzo[a]pyrene was degraded in cultures containing a HMW PAH mixture but pyrene had no effect on its degradation. The growth of isolates B1 and B21 was improved in the aqueous phase than in the interfacial fraction for cultures with naphthalene vapours. Pyrene was required for benzo[a]pyrene degradation by isolate B1. For isolate B21, pyrene and chrysene were degraded only in cultures without naphthalene vapours. CONCLUSION: Consortium enriched in a TLP culture is composed of microorganisms with different abilities to grow at the interface or in the aqueous phase according to the culture conditions and the PAH that are present. Naphthalene vapours increased the growth of the microorganisms in TLP cultures but did not stimulate the HMW PAH degradation. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: New HMW PAH-degrading microorganisms and a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in HMW PAH degradation in TLP cultures. 相似文献

Optimization of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons' degradation in a two-liquid-phase bioreactor 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A microbial consortium degrading the high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (HMW PAHs) pyrene, chrysene, benzo[a]pyrene and perylene in a two-liquid-phase reactor was studied. The highest PAH-degrading activity was observed with silicone oil as the water-immiscible phase; 2,2,4,4,6,8, 8-heptamethylnonane, paraffin oil, hexadecane and corn oil were much less, or not efficient in improving PAH degradation by the consortium. Addition of surfactants (Triton X-100, Witconol SN70, Brij 35 and rhamnolipids) or Inipol EAP22 did not promote PAH biodegradation. Rhamnolipids had an inhibitory effect. Addition of salicylate, benzoate, 1-hydroxy-2-naphtoic acid or catechol did not increase the PAH-degrading activity of the consortium, but the addition of low-molecular-weight (LMW) PAHs such as naphthalene and phenanthrene did. In these conditions, the degradation rates were 27 mg l-1 d-1 for pyrene, 8.9 mg l-1 d-1 for chrysene, 1.8 mg l-1 d-1 for benzo[a]pyrene and 0.37 mg l-1 d-1 for perylene. Micro-organisms from the interface were slightly more effective in degrading PAHs than those from the aqueous phase. 相似文献

Two-liquid-phase slurry bioreactors to enhance the degradation of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soil 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

High-molecular-weight (HMW) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are pollutants that persist in the environment due to their low solubility in water and their sequestration by soil and sediments. The addition of a water-immiscible, nonbiodegradable, and biocompatible liquid, silicone oil, to a soil slurry was studied to promote the desorption of PAHs from soil and to increase their bioavailability. First, the transfer into silicone oil of phenanthrene, pyrene, chrysene, and benzo[a]pyrene added to a sterilized soil (sandy soil with 0.65% total volatile solids) was measured for 4 days in three two-liquid-phase (TLP) slurry systems each containing 30% (w/v) soil but different volumes of silicone oil (2.5%, 7.5%, and 15% [v/v]). Except for chrysene, a high percentage of these PAHs was transferred from soil to silicone oil in the TLP slurry system containing 15% silicone oil. Rapid PAH transfer occurred during the first 8 h, probably resulting from the extraction of nonsolubilized and of poorly sorbed PAHs. This was followed by a period in which a slower but constant transfer occurred, suggesting extraction of more tightly bound PAHs. Second, a HMW PAH-degrading consortium was enriched in a TLP slurry system with a microbial population isolated from a creosote-contaminated soil. This consortium was then added to three other TLP slurry systems each containing 30% (w/v) sterilized soil that had been artificially contaminated with pyrene, chrysene, and benzo[a]pyrene, but different volumes of silicone oil (10%, 20%, and 30% [v/v]). The resulting TLP slurry bioreactors were much more efficient than the control slurry bioreactor containing the same contaminated soil but no oil phase. In the TLP slurry bioreactor containing 30% silicone oil, the rate of pyrene degradation was 19 mg L(-)(1) day(-)(1) and no pyrene was detected after 4 days. The degradation rates of chrysene and benzo[a]pyrene in the 30% TLP slurry bioreactor were, respectively, 3.5 and 0.94 mg L(-)(1) day(-)(1). Low degradation of pyrene and no significant degradation of chrysene and benzo[a]pyrene occurred in the slurry bioreactor. This is the first report in which a TLP system was combined with a slurry system to improve the biodegradation of PAHs in soil. 相似文献

Using population dynamics analysis by DGGE to design the bacterial consortium isolated from mangrove sediments for biodegradation of PAHs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

There are many PAH-degrading bacteria in mangrove sediments and in order to explore their degradation potential, surface sediment samples were collected from a mangrove area in Fugong, Longhai, Fujian Province of China. A total of 53 strains of PAH-degrading bacteria were isolated from the mangrove sediments, consisting of 14 strains of phenanthrene (Phe), 13 strains of pyrene (Pyr), 13 strains of benzo[a]pyrene (Bap) and 13 strains of mixed PAH (Phe + Pyr + Bap)-degrading bacteria. All of the individual colonies were identified by 16S rDNA sequencing. Based on the information of bacterial PCR-DGGE profiles obtained during enrichment batch culture, Phe, Pyr, Bap and mixed PAH-degrading consortia consisted of F1, F2, F3, F4 and F15 strains, B1, B3, B6, B7 and B13 strains, P1, P2, P3, P5 and P7 strains, M1, M2, M4, M12 and M13 strains, respectively. In addition, the degradation ability of these consortia was also determined. The results showed that both Phe and mixed PAH-degrading consortia had the highest ability to degrade the Phe in a liquid medium, with more than 91% being degraded in 3 days. But the biodegradation percentages of Pyr by Pyr-degrading consortium and Bap by Bap-degrading consortium were relatively lower than that of the Phe-degrading consortium. These results suggested that a higher degradation of PAHs depended on both the bacterial consortium present and the type of PAH compound. Moreover, using the bacterial community structure analysis method, where the consortia consist of different PAH-degrading bacteria, the information from the PCR-DGGE profiles could be used in the bioremediation of PAHs in the future. 相似文献

Biological treatment methods are effective at destroying polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and some of the highest
rates of PAH degradation have been achieved using two-phase-partitioning bioreactors (TPPBs). TPPBs consist of a cell-containing
aqueous phase and a biocompatible and immiscible organic phase that partitions toxic and/or recalcitrant substrates to the
cells based on their metabolic demand and on maintaining the thermodynamic equilibrium of the system. In this study, the degradation
of a 5-component mixture of high and low molecular weight PAHs by a defined microbial consortium of Sphingomonas aromaticivorans B0695 and Sphingomonas paucimobilis EPA505 in a TPPB was examined. The extremely low aqueous solubilities of the high molecular weight (HMW) PAHs significantly
reduce their bioavailability to cells, not only in the environment, but in TPPBs as well. That is, in the two-phase system,
the originally selected solvent, dodecane, was found to sequester the HMW PAHs from the cells in the aqueous phase due to
the inherent high solubility of the hydrophobic compounds in this solvent. To circumvent this limitation, the initial PAH
concentrations in dodecane were increased to sufficient levels in the aqueous phase to support degradation: LMW PAHs (naphthalene,
phenanthrene) and fluoranthene were degraded completely in 8 h, while the HMW PAHs, pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene, were degraded by 64% and 11%, at rates of 42.9 mg l−1 d−1 and 7.5 mg l−1 d−1, respectively. Silicone oil has superior PAH partitioning abilities compared to dodecane for the HMW PAHs, and was used to
improve the extent of degradation for the PAH mixture. Although silicone oil increased the bioavailability of the HMW PAHs
and greater extents of biodegradation were observed, the rates of degradation were lower than that obtained in the TPPB employing
dodecane. 相似文献

AIM: The aim of this study was to further characterize a bacterial culture (VUN 10,010) capable of benzo[a]pyrene cometabolism. METHODS AND RESULTS: The bacterial culture, previously characterized as a pure culture of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (VUN 10,010), was found to also contain another bacterial species (Mycobacterium sp. strain 1B), capable of degrading a similar range of PAH substrates. Analysis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence and growth characteristics revealed the strain to be a fast-growing Mycobacterium sp., closely related to other previously isolated PAH and xenobiotic-degrading mycobacterial strains. Comparison of the PAH-degrading characteristics of Mycobacterium sp. strain 1B with those of S. maltophilia indicated some similarities (ability to degrade phenanthrene and pyrene), but some differences were also noted (S. maltophilia able to degrade fluorene, but not fluoranthene, whereas Mycobacterium sp. strain 1B can degrade fluoranthene, but not fluorene). Unlike the S. maltophilia culture, there was no evidence of benzo[a]pyrene degradation by Mycobacterium sp. strain 1B, even in the presence of other PAHs (ie pyrene) as co-metabolic substrates. Growth of Mycobacterium sp. strain 1B on other organic carbon sources was also limited compared with the S. maltophilia culture. CONCLUSIONS: This study isolated a Mycobacterium strain from a bacterial culture capable of benzo[a]pyrene cometabolism. The Mycobacterium strain displays different PAH-degrading characteristics to those described previously for the PAH-degrading bacterial culture. It is unclear what role the two bacterial strains play in benzo[a]pyrene cometabolism, as the Mycobacterium strain does not appear to have endogenous benzo[a]pyrene degrading ability. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study describes the isolation and characterization of a novel PAH-degrading Mycobacterium strain from a PAH-degrading culture. Further studies utilizing this strain alone, and in combination with other members of the consortium, will provide insight into the diverse roles different bacteria may play in PAH degradation in mixed cultures and in the environment. 相似文献

Degradation and mineralization of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by defined fungal-bacterial cocultures 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
This study investigated the biodegradation of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in liquid media and soil by bacteria (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia VUN 10,010 and bacterial consortium VUN 10,009) and a fungus (Penicillium janthinellum VUO 10, 201) that were isolated from separate creosote- and manufactured-gas plant-contaminated soils. The bacteria could use pyrene as their sole carbon and energy source in a basal salts medium (BSM) and mineralized significant amounts of benzo[a]pyrene cometabolically when pyrene was also present in BSM. P. janthinellum VUO 10,201 could not utilize any high-molecular-weight PAH as sole carbon and energy source but could partially degrade these if cultured in a nutrient broth. Although small amounts of chrysene, benz[a]anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene, and dibenz[a,h]anthracene were degraded by axenic cultures of these isolates in BSM containing a single PAH, such conditions did not support significant microbial growth or PAH mineralization. However, significant degradation of, and microbial growth on, pyrene, chrysene, benz[a]anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene, and dibenz[a,h]anthracene, each as a single PAH in BSM, occurred when P. janthinellum VUO 10,201 and either bacterial consortium VUN 10,009 or S. maltophilia VUN 10,010 were combined in the one culture, i.e., fungal-bacterial cocultures: 25% of the benzo[a]pyrene was mineralized to CO(2) by these cocultures over 49 days, accompanied by transient accumulation and disappearance of intermediates detected by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Inoculation of fungal-bacterial cocultures into PAH-contaminated soil resulted in significantly improved degradation of high-molecular-weight PAHs, benzo[a]pyrene mineralization (53% of added [(14)C]benzo[a]pyrene was recovered as (14)CO(2) in 100 days), and reduction in the mutagenicity of organic soil extracts, compared with the indigenous microbes and soil amended with only axenic inocula. 相似文献

Microbial populations related to PAH biodegradation in an aged biostimulated creosote-contaminated soil 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A previous bioremediation survey on a creosote-contaminated soil showed that aeration and optimal humidity promoted depletion
of three-ringed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), but residual concentrations of four-ringed benzo(a)anthracene (B(a)A)
and chrysene (Chry) remained. In order to explain the lack of further degradation of heavier PAHs such as four-ringed PAHs
and to analyze the microbial population responsible for PAH biodegradation, a chemical and microbial molecular approach was
used. Using a slurry incubation strategy, soil in liquid mineral medium with and without additional B(a)A and Chry was found
to contain a powerful PAH-degrading microbial community that eliminated 89% and 53% of the added B(a)A and Chry, respectively.
It is hypothesized that the lack of PAH bioavailability hampered their further biodegradation in the unspiked soil. According
to the results of the culture-dependent and independent techniques Mycobacterium parmense, Pseudomonas mexicana, and Sphingobacterials group could control B(a)A and Chry degradation in combination with several microorganisms with secondary
metabolic activity. 相似文献

Bioremediation technologies of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) are often limited by the recalcitrance to biodegradation of high molecular weight (HMW) PAH. Rhizosphere is known to increase the biodegradation of PAH but little is known about the biodegradability of these HMW compounds by␣rhizosphere bacteria. This study compared the effects of a 3 and a 5-ring PAH, phenanthrene (PHE) and␣dibenzo[a,h]anthracene (dBA) respectively, on the composition of bacterial community, the bacterial density and the biodegradation activity. Compartmentalized devices were designed to harvest three consecutive sections of the rhizosphere. Rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere compartments were filled with PHE or dBA spiked or unspiked sand and inoculated with a soil bacterial inoculum. Different bacterial communities and degradation values were found 5 weeks after spiking with PHE (41–76% biodegradation) and dBA (12–51% biodegradation). In sections closer to the root surface, bacterial populations differed as a function of the distance to roots and the PAH added, whereas in further rhizosphere sections, communities were closer to those of the non-planted treatments. Biodegradation of PHE was also a function of the distance to roots, and decreased from 76 to 42% within 9 mm from the roots. However, biodegradation of dBA was significantly higher in the middle section (3–6 mm from roots) than the others. Rhizosphere degradation of PAH varies with the nature of the PAH, and C fluxes from roots could limit the degradation of dBA. 相似文献

Monitoring nutrient impact on bacterial community composition during bioremediation of anoxic PAH-contaminated sediment 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Marine harbor sediments are frequently polluted with significant amount of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) some of
which are naturally toxic, recalcitrant, mutagenic, and carcinogenic. To stimulate biodegradation of PAHs in PAH-contaminated
sediments collected from near Gwangyang Bay, Korea, lactate was chosen as a supplementary carbonaceous substrate. Sediment
packed into 600 ml air-tight jar was either under no treatment condition or lactate amended condition (1%, w/v). Microbial
community composition was monitored by bacteria-specific and archaea-specific PCR-terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism
(T-RFLP), in addition to measuring the residual PAH concentration. Results showed that lactate amendment enhanced biodegradation
rate of PAHs in the sediment by 4 to 8 times, and caused a significant shift in archaebacterial community in terms of structure
and diversity with time. Phylogenetic analysis of 23 archaeal clones with distinctive RFLP patterns among 288 archaeal clones
indicated that majority of the archaeal members were closest to unculturable environmental rDNA clones from hydrocarbon-contaminated
and/or methanogenesis-bearing sediments. Lactate amendment led to the enrichment of some clones that were most closely related
to PAH-degrading Methanosarcina species. These results suggest a possible contribution of methanogenic community to PAH degradation and give us more insights
on how to effectively remediate PAH-contaminated sediments. 相似文献

Interest in understanding prokaryotic biotransformation of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (HMW PAHs) has continued to grow and the scientific literature shows that studies in this field are originating from research groups from many different locations throughout the world. In the last 10 years, research in regard to HMW PAH biodegradation by bacteria has been further advanced through the documentation of new isolates that represent diverse bacterial types that have been isolated from different environments and that possess different metabolic capabilities. This has occurred in addition to the continuation of in-depth comprehensive characterizations of previously isolated organisms, such as Mycobacterium vanbaalenii PYR-1. New metabolites derived from prokaryotic biodegradation of four- and five-ring PAHs have been characterized, our knowledge of the enzymes involved in these transformations has been advanced and HMW PAH biodegradation pathways have been further developed, expanded upon and refined. At the same time, investigation of prokaryotic consortia has furthered our understanding of the capabilities of microorganisms functioning as communities during HMW PAH biodegradation. 相似文献

Effect of bioaugmentation and supplementary carbon sources on degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by a soil-derived culture 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
van Herwijnen R Joffe B Ryngaert A Hausner M Springael D Govers HA Wuertz S Parsons JR 《FEMS microbiology ecology》2006,55(1):122-135
The degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by an undefined culture obtained from a PAH-polluted soil and the same culture bioaugmented with three PAH-degrading strains was studied in carbon-limited chemostat cultures. The PAHs were degraded efficiently by the soil culture and bioaugmentation did not significantly improve the PAH degrading performance. The presence of PAHs did, however, influence the bacterial composition of the bioaugmented and non-bioaugmented soil cultures, resulting in the increase in cell concentration of sphingomonad strains. the initial enhancement of the degradation of the PAHs by biostimulation gradually disappeared and only the presence of salicylate in the additional carbon sources had a lasting slightly stimulating effect on the degradation of phenanthrene. The results suggest that bioaugmentation and biostimulation have limited potential to enhance PAH bioremediation by culture already proficient in the degradation of such contaminants. 相似文献

Biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the environment is often limited due to unfavorable nutrient conditions for the bacteria that use these PAHs as sole source of carbon and energy. Mycobacterium and Sphingomonas are 2 PAH-degrading specialists commonly present in PAH-polluted soil, but not much is known about their specific nutrient requirements. By adding different inorganic supplements of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), affecting the overall carbon/nitrogen/phosphorus ratio of soil in soil slurry degradation tests, we investigated the impact of soil inorganic N and P nutrient conditions on PAH degradation by PAH-degrading Sphingomonas and Mycobacterium strains. The general theoretically calculated C/N/P ratio of 100/10/1 (expressed in moles) allowed rapid PAH metabolization by Sphingomonas and Mycobacterium strains without limitation. In addition, PAH-degradation rate and extent was not affected when ca. ten times lower concentrations of N and P were provided, indicating that Sphingomonas and Mycobacterium strains are capable of metabolizing PAHs under low nutrient conditions. Nor does PAH-degradation seem to be affected by excesses of N and P creating an imbalanced C/N/P ratio. However, supplements of N and P salts increased the salinity of soil slurry solutions and seriously limited or even completely blocked biodegradation. 相似文献

The kinetics of biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by a mixed culture were determined in a creosote-contaminated soil and in a pristine soil. A competitive-inhibition model was able to represent the kinetics of degradation of PAHs from the creosote-contaminated soil, from the lag phase through to active degradation, but not data from pristine soil with the same PAHs alone and in mixtures. The presence of phenanthrene introduced a lag phase of 4.5 days in the degradation of fluoranthene and 5 days for chrysene. Rapid degradation of pyrene followed a lag phase of circa 5 days, regardless of the presence of other PAHs. These results show that even when kinetics of PAH degradation by mixed cultures appear to follow competitive-inhibition kinetics, the underlying mechanisms may be more complex. 相似文献

Humic acid effect on pyrene degradation: finding an optimal range for pyrene solubility and mineralization enhancement 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Liang Y Britt DW McLean JE Sorensen DL Sims RC 《Applied microbiology and biotechnology》2007,74(6):1368-1375
The addition of humic acid (HA) to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contaminated systems has been shown to enhance, inhibit,
or have no effect on the biodegradation of these PAHs. In this study, the surfactant effects of Elliott soil HA (ESHA) at
two pH values were tested. At pH 7.0, ESHA did not behave as a surfactant. At pH 11.8, ESHA acted as a surfactant, as displayed
by a decrease in surface tension with increasing concentrations of ESHA. The effect of ESHA on pyrene solubility was tested
by adding 0 to 800 μg ESHA/g soil to soil-slurries. Enhancement of pyrene apparent solubility demonstrated a dose- and time-related
effect. Broader doses from 0 to 10,080 μg ESHA/g soil and three higher doses from 3,360 to 10,080 μg ESHA/g soil were tested
for their effects on pyrene mineralization by indigenous soil microorganisms and a novel PAH-degrading Mycobacterium sp. KMS in soil microcosms, respectively. ESHA amendments between 20 and 200 μg ESHA/g soil were found to consistently increase
pyrene mineralization by indigenous microorganisms, while the 10,080 μg ESHA/g soil produced inhibition and all other doses
presented no effects. Pyrene degradation by M. KMS was significantly inhibited by the addition of the highest dose of ESHA. 相似文献

Bacterial community dynamics and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon degradation during bioremediation of heavily creosote-contaminated soil 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Bacterial community dynamics and biodegradation processes were examined in a highly creosote-contaminated soil undergoing a range of laboratory-based bioremediation treatments. The dynamics of the eubacterial community, the number of heterotrophs and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degraders, and the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) and PAH concentrations were monitored during the bioremediation process. TPH and PAHs were significantly degraded in all treatments (72 to 79% and 83 to 87%, respectively), and the biodegradation values were higher when nutrients were not added, especially for benzo(a)anthracene and chrysene. The moisture content and aeration were determined to be the key factors associated with PAH bioremediation. Neither biosurfactant addition, bioaugmentation, nor ferric octate addition led to differences in PAH or TPH biodegradation compared to biodegradation with nutrient treatment. All treatments resulted in a high first-order degradation rate during the first 45 days, which was markedly reduced after 90 days. A sharp increase in the size of the heterotrophic and PAH-degrading microbial populations was observed, which coincided with the highest rates of TPH and PAH biodegradation. At the end of the incubation period, PAH degraders were more prevalent in samples to which nutrients had not been added. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis and principal-component analysis confirmed that there was a remarkable shift in the composition of the bacterial community due to both the biodegradation process and the addition of nutrients. At early stages of biodegradation, the alpha-Proteobacteria group (genera Sphingomonas and Azospirillum) was the dominant group in all treatments. At later stages, the gamma-Proteobacteria group (genus Xanthomonas), the alpha-Proteobacteria group (genus Sphingomonas), and the Cytophaga-Flexibacter-Bacteroides group (Bacteroidetes) were the dominant groups in the nonnutrient treatment, while the gamma-Proteobacteria group (genus Xathomonas), the beta-Proteobacteria group (genera Alcaligenes and Achromobacter), and the alpha-Proteobacteria group (genus Sphingomonas) were the dominant groups in the nutrient treatment. This study shows that specific bacterial phylotypes are associated both with different phases of PAH degradation and with nutrient addition in a preadapted PAH-contaminated soil. Our findings also suggest that there are complex interactions between bacterial species and medium conditions that influence the biodegradation capacity of the microbial communities involved in bioremediation processes. 相似文献

This study investigated the biodegradation of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in liquid media and soil by bacteria (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia VUN 10,010 and bacterial consortium VUN 10,009) and a fungus (Penicillium janthinellum VUO 10,201) that were isolated from separate creosote- and manufactured-gas plant-contaminated soils. The bacteria could use pyrene as their sole carbon and energy source in a basal salts medium (BSM) and mineralized significant amounts of benzo[a]pyrene cometabolically when pyrene was also present in BSM.
