Contribution of soil bacteria isolated from different regions into crude oil and oil product degradation

Experimental Investigation of a Pilot-Scale Concerning Ex-Situ Bioremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons Contaminated Soils

“…The results are much better than results obtained by adding microorganisms belonging to genera Rhodococcus-55-59% [41]; Streptomyces sp. Hlh1-40% [1] and Acinetobacter SZ-1-34% [46].…”

“…Studies have shown that using indigenous microbial strains is preferred in bioremediation processes of soil polluted by total petroleum hydrocarbons [38][39][40]: efficiency of 55-59% using Rhodococcus [41] and 40% using by Streptomyces sp. Hlh1 [42], and adding nutritive substances may increase the efficiency [43,44]: removal of diesel fuel 70% [45] and PHC 60% [46].…”

Physiological and biochemical characterization and genome analysis of Rhodococcus qingshengii strain 7B capable of crude oil degradation and plant stimulation

“…The residual content of oil hydrocarbons after cultivation of bacteria was measured by the infrared spectrometry in 7, 15 and 28 days of the experiment. Infrared spectrometry was employed to determine specific hydrocarbons by relative number of C–C and C–H bonds [24] .…”

Diversity of Alkane-1-Monooxygenase Genes in Actinobacteria of the Genus Rhodococcus

“…Phylogeny of alkane-1-monooxygenase corresponds to phylogeny of Rhodococcus bacteria offered based on comparing genomes, vital genes, conservative proteins, DNA-DNA hybridization, and physiologo-biochemical traits [5]. By analyzing genetic similarity of rhodococci bacteria seven phylogenetic groups are allocated: A, B, C, D, E, F and G, with B (B1 and B2) group and Rhodococcus qinqshengii F2-2 strains with high petroleumutilizing activity was isolated from soils sampled from oil deposit Festivalnoe in Western Siberia, Russia [6]. The strain grows in media with crude oil and diesel fuel, produces tregalolipid biosurfactants and can use alkanes and benzene as a sole source of carbon and energy.…”
