“…The key role of Lcc in pyrene degradation had already been noted by other authors [37,43] and it underscores the importance of the synergic interactions of our consortium in the production of this class of enzymes [8].…”

“…Several experiments have shown that degradation of hydrocarbons in nature may require the combined efforts of several microorganisms, since few are able to degrade high-molecular-weight PAH on their own [36,37]. Recently, Li et al [38] showed that inoculation of microbial consortia (bacteria, fungi and bacteria-fungi complex) was a promising method to degrade PAHs in oil-contaminated soil.…”

Hydrocarbon degrading microorganisms play a major role in the environment. In the present study crude oil degrading fungal strain Aspergillus niger was isolated from oil contaminated soil near crude oil production well (Lingala) Andhra Pradesh. The rate of reduction in some petroleum hydrocarbon fractions, such as n-alkanes, aromatics, nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen (NSO)-containing compounds and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), were monitored by means of gas chromatography. The nC 17 /Pristine and n C 18 /Phytane ratios, extrapolated from the GC profiles decreased from the initial value of 2.510 and 7.289 to 0.132 and 0.474 respectively at day 60.

Aims: To characterize and identify a novel contaminant of aviation fuel. Methods and Results: Micro‐organisms (yeasts and bacteria) were isolated from samples of aviation fuel. A yeast that proved to have been unrecorded previously was isolated from more than one fuel sample. This novel yeast proved to be a new species of Candida and is described here. Ribosomal RNA gene sequence analyses of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions (including 5·8S subunit) plus the 26S D1/D2 domains showed the strains to cluster within the Candida membranifaciens clade nearest to, but distinct from, Candida tumulicola. Phenotypic tests were identical for both isolates. Physiological and biochemical tests supported their position as a separate taxon. The yeast was assessed for its effect on the main constituent hydrocarbons of aviation fuel. Conclusions: Two strains (IMI 395605T and IMI 395606) belonging to the novel yeast species, Candida keroseneae, were isolated from samples of aircraft fuel (kerosene), characterized and described herein with reference to their potential as contaminants of aviation fuel. Significance and Impact of the Study: As a result of isolating a novel yeast from aviation fuel, the implications for microbial contamination of such fuel should be considered more widely than previously thought.
