“…For instance, In January 2000, in the Baía de Guanabara, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a pipeline rupture caused a 1.3-million-tonne oil spill, contaminating large areas of beaches and affecting mangroves (Brito et al 2009), especially the north-eastern region of Rio de Janeiro. This event caused strong environmental degradation in forest mangroves near the mouth of the Suruí River.…”

“…Many studies in the literature have reported the application of phytoremediation technologies for the recovery of environments impacted by oil (Atlas, 1981(Atlas, , 1995Balba et al, 1998;Duke et al, 2000;Ramsay et al, 2000;Moreira et al, 2011Moreira et al, , 2013. However, studies focused on the recovery of mangroves impacted by oil are scarce (Burns et al, 1999;Ramsay et al, 2000;Ke et al, 2003;Brito et al, 2009), especially studies using mangrove propagules (Proffitt et al, 1995;Proffitt & Devlin, 1998;Ye & Tam, 2007;Zhang et al, 2007). Here, in a greenhouse experiment, we investigated the effect of marine diesel oil on the development and survival of three different species of mangrove propagules, with or without hydrocarbon-degrading bacterial consortia, and assessed the potential use of these propagules for the recovery of mangroves impacted by oil.…”

ABSTRACT. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of marine diesel oil on the development and survival of three different species of mangrove propagules with or without a hydrocarbon-degrading bacterial consortium and the possible use of propagules for the recovery of mangroves impacted by oil. The study was conducted in a greenhouse, near a mangrove from which we collected samples of sediments and propagules of Laguncularia racemosa, Avicennia schaueriana and Rhizophora mangle. The bacterial consortium comprised Bacillus spp., Rhizobium spp., Pseudomonas spp., Ochrobactrum spp. and Brevundimonas spp. After six months, L. racemosa and A. schaueriana only survived in control treatments and R. mangle showed the highest survival rates of the three species, indicating that different mangrove species do not respond uniformly to oil spills. Propagules of R. mangle are much more resistant and the hydrocarbon-degrading bacterial consortium we tested can be applied in the phytoremediation of pollutants.

“…Oxygen (O 2 ) rarely penetrates the surface thus, the sediments remain anoxic. The impact of petroleum and its derivatives on mangroves has been addressed and the effects studied (Brito et al 2009 ;dos Santos et al 2011 ). However, anaerobic degradation in situ still needs to be acknowledged in this region as well as key players and genes involved remains to be elucidated.…”

In South America petroleum production is one of the principal economic resources for various countries. Although petroleum and its derivatives fuel daily life, the major concern to their use is related to the high environmental risk of oil spills. Whether it is a large and acute or small and frequent exposure, the ecosystem must adapt to the scenario and rely on those microorganisms capable of regenerating the system. Bacteria have a central role in bioremediation and different catabolic pathways involved in saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons removal have been identifi ed from isolated strains. The traditional isolation and pure cultivation approach allows a thorough physiological study of the process occurring in these strains. However, the accuracy in linking composition to function using this approach is debatable. Culture-independent techniques applied to the metabolism of components of petroleum can be used to discover novel genes and catabolic routes directly from the environment. This chapter presents an updated overview of different approaches and molecular markers used in hydrocarbon degradation in coasts from South America as well as those methods already used outside the geographic scope of this work that still need to be acknowledged in this region.
