“…The best approach would be the use of a consortium of biosurfactant producing micro organisms. By selecting a consortium from various contaminated environment, the negative interactions could be minimal (Frielo et al, 2001). The quest for novel bacteria consortium for biosurfactant production lead to this study to identify the diversity of micro organisms from contaminated samples that produce biosurfactants.…”

“…Through genetic manipulations, a Pseudomonas strain was engineered to oxidize aromatic, aliphatic, terpenic and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (Friello et al . ). With respect to plastic degradation, the species of the genus Pseudomonas are amongst the most cited degraders of various extents for a wide range of plastic polymers.…”

“…Due to their diverse metabolic capabilities and genetic plasticity, Pseudomonas species are attractive for synthetic biology (Dos Santos et al 2004;Nikel et al 2016).

With respect to plastic degradation, the species of the genus Pseudomonas are amongst the most cited degraders of various extents for a wide range of plastic polymers.…”

SummarySynthetic plastics, which are widely present in materials of everyday use, are ubiquitous and slowly-degrading polymers in environmental wastes. Of special interest are the capabilities of microorganisms to accelerate their degradation. Members of the metabolically diverse genus Pseudomonas are of particular interest due to their capabilities to degrade and metabolize synthetic plastics. Pseudomonas species isolated from environmental matrices have been identified to degrade polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyurethane, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene succinate, polyethylene glycol and polyvinyl alcohol at varying degrees of efficiency. Here, we present a review of the current knowledge on the factors that control the ability of Pseudomonas sp. to process these different plastic polymers and their by-products. These factors include cell surface attachment within biofilms, catalytic enzymes involved in oxidation or hydrolysis of the plastic polymer, metabolic pathways responsible for uptake and assimilation of plastic fragments and chemical factors that are advantageous or inhibitory to the biodegradation process. We also highlight future research directions required in order to harness fully the capabilities of Pseudomonas sp. in bioremediation strategies towards eliminating plastic wastes.

“…The methods used to evaluate oil biodegradation include different respirometric techniques, chromatographic methods and radiological methods, where organic carbon is spiked with 14 C, and this isotope is detected in degradation products [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The BOD OxiTop method, which proved to be highly reliable in biodegradation measurements of oils in a water medium, was chosen as the measurement technique in our experiments.…”
