A Comprehensive Review of Aliphatic Hydrocarbon Biodegradation by Bacteria

Abstract: Hydrocarbons are relatively recalcitrant compounds and are classified as high-priority pollutants. However, these compounds are slowly degraded by a large variety of microorganisms. Bacteria are able to degrade aliphatic saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons via both aerobic and anaerobic pathways. Branched hydrocarbons and cyclic hydrocarbons are also degraded by bacteria. The aerobic bacteria use different types of oxygenases, including monooxygenase, cytochrome-dependent oxygenase and dioxygenase, to inser… Show more

“…To degrade contaminants, either in wastewaters or at sites of environmental spills, Paenibacillus can produce various enzymes that metabolize aliphatic and aromatic organic pollutants, including oxygenases, dehydrogenases, and ligninolytic enzymes [121, 122]. The textiles industry produces multiple chemicals that can pollute natural waters and soils, most notably dyes that are released due to inadequate wastewater treatment [123].…”

“…It can interact with the active site of numerous metal-dependent enzymes, such as nitrogenase, hydrogenase, ammonia monooxygenase, methane monooxygenase, assimilatory nitrate reductase or nitrous oxide reductase [Hyman and Arp, 1988]. Acetylene is a minor trace gas in today's Earth atmosphere and can be used as carbon and energy source by distinct microorganisms [Abbasian et al, 2015;Oremland and Voytek, 2008]. The W and Fe-S enzyme ACH was originally discovered from Pelobacter acetylenicus by Schink [1985] (EC 4.2.1.112) and studied in great detail over the past three decades.…”

“…Proses degradasi alkana terjadi secara aerobik dengan melibatkan oksigen sebagai akseptor elektron eksternal (Abbasian, Lockington, Mallavarapu, & Naidu, 2015;Zampolli, Collina, Lasagni, & Gennaro, 2014). Salah satu proses degradasi senyawa hidrokarbon adalah biodegradasi dengan melibatkan mikrorganisme.…”
