Biodegradation of Organic Pollutants by Halophilic Bacteria and Archaea

Abstract: Hypersaline environments are important for both surface extension and ecological significance. As all other ecosystems, they are impacted by pollution. However, little information is available on the biodegradation of organic pollutants by halophilic microorganisms in such environments. In addition, it is estimated that 5% of industrial effluents are saline and hypersaline. Conventional nonextremophilic microorganisms are unable to efficiently perform the removal of organic pollutants at high salt concentratio… Show more

“…The pH value was found to be 7.1 to 8.1 during the experiment recorded as compared to untreated ones which was found to be pH 7.1. These results are in agreement with those found by (Kargi and Dinner, 2000;Awasthi and Rai, 2004;Borgne et al, 2008;Abou-Elela et al, 2010;Krishnan and Neera, 2013 (Kant and Gaur, 2001). This may be due to the increase in the number of ions competing for the available binding sites in the biomass and also due to the lack of binding sites for the complication of these ions at higher concentration levels.…”

“…On the basis of the abovementioned information, it can be concluded that both the moderately halophilic bacteria and the extremely halophilic archaea have a broader catabolic versatility and capability than previously thought. A diversity of contaminating compounds is susceptible to be degraded by halotolerant and halophilic bacteria (Borgne et al, 2008).…”

“…Members of the genus Marinobacter, for instance, are a well known and metabolically versatile group of marine facultative hydrocarbon degraders that are often found in oil contaminated saline environments (Al-Mailem et al, 2010;Le Borgne et al, 2008;Van der Kraan et al, 2009). In addition, it was shown that pure cultures of Marinobacter were able to degrade BTEX at moderately (halo)alkaliphilic conditions (Berlendis et al, 2010;Kleinsteuber et al, 2006).…”

“…Hence, it has to be removed from spent caustic solutions prior to discharge into the environment. Up till now a limited amount of literature is available on the biodegradation of mono-aromatics under haloalkaline conditions (Alva and Peyton, 2003;Le Borgne et al, 2008;Margesin and Schinner, 2001). Furthermore, the effects of benzene on biological sulfide oxidation have not been investigated.…”

“…Recent studies have shown that such environments are highly productive and have been a valuable source of novel micro-organisms (Antó n et al, 2002;Yoon et al, 2002;Li et al, 2004;Tang et al, 2010Tang et al, , 2011Wang et al, 2011;Yang et al, 2012;Tatar et al, 2013). Although advances have been slow, there is great interest in the use of halophilic or halotolerant micro-organisms to degrade organic pollutants and to produce biopolymers, biosurfactants and compatible solutes (Marhuenda-Egea & Bonete, 2002;Le Borgne et al, 2008). In this context, members of the genus Streptomyces remain a unique source of natural products, including clinically significant antibiotics, anti-metabolities and anti-tumour agents (Watve et al, 2001;Igarashi et al, 2005;Fiedler et al, 2005;Shiomi et al, 2005;Olano et al, 2009;Kim et al, 2012a).…”
