| Abstract: | The diversity of bacterial populations colonizing spatially and temporally separated samples of the same metal-working fluid (MWF) formulation was investigated. Analyses were performed with a view to improve strategies for bioaugmentation of waste MWF in bioreactor systems and prevention of in-use MWF biodeterioration in engineering workshops. Significantly, complementary phenotypic, genotypic and in situ methods revealed that the bacterial communities in operationally exhausted MWFs had low diversity and were similar in species composition from different locations and uses. Of the 179 bacterial isolates studied, only 11 genera and 15 species were identified using fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis, with culture independent analyses by 16S rDNA denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and fluorescent in situ hybridization being congruent with these FAME data. In order to gain some insight into functional role of detected populations, we correlated the MWF chemical composition and potential pollution load with bacterial abundance and community composition detected within samples. |
