Many pentachlorophenol- (PCP-) contaminated environments are characterized by low or elevated temperatures, acidic or alkaline pH, and high salt concentrations. PCP-degrading microorganisms, adapted to grow and prosper in these environments, play an important role in the biological treatment of polluted extreme habitats. A PCP-degrading bacterium was isolated and characterized from arid and saline soil in southern Tunisia and was enriched in mineral salts medium supplemented with PCP as source of carbon and energy.

Oil spills are one of the main causes of pollution in marine environments. Oil degrading bacteria play an important role for bioremediation of oil spill in environment. We collected 132 isolates of marine bacteria isolated from several Indonesia marine areas, i.e. Pari Island, Jakarta, Kamal Port, East Java and Cilacap Bay, Central Java. These isolates were screened for capability to degrade polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Selection test were carried out qualitatively using sublimation method and growth assay of the isolates on several PAHs i.e. phenanthrene, dibenzothiophene, fluorene, naphtalene, phenotiazine, and pyrene. The fifty-eight isolates indicated in having capability to degrade PAHs, consisted of 25 isolates were positive on naphthalene (nap) and 20 isolates showed ability to grow in phenanthrene (phen) containing media. Further, 38 isolates were selected for dibenzothiophene (dbt) degradation and 25 isolates were positive on fluorene (flr). On the other hand, 23 isolates presented capability to degrade in phenothiazine (ptz) and 15 isolates could grow in media with pyrene (pyr).

RC18 from Turmeric Rhizosphere Ruth Chiamaka Osaro-Matthew*, Francis Sopuruchukwu Ire and Nnenna Frank-peterside Department of Microbiology University of Port Harcourt Choba, Nigeria *Corresponding author ABSTRACT Antifungal metabolites from rare actinomycetes have been found attractive for application due to its novelty, potency and environmental friendliness. K e yw or ds Optimization of process variables for enhanced production of antifungal metabolite in Janibacter sp. RC18 was carried out in this study. One factor at a Janibacter sp. time (OFAT) was used for preliminary optimization of fermentation variables RC18, Antifungal (time, temperature, initial pH, carbon and nitrogen sources). A three factor central metabolite , OFAT, composite design (CCD) and response surface methodology (RSM) were Central composite design; Response employed for optimization of the selected significant nutritional variable (starch, surface soybean meal) and CaCO3. The optimum antifungal metabolite production was methodology o obtained at day 7 incubation period inhibition, temperature 30 C, pH 8, starch as carbon source and soybean meal as nitrogen source. Response surface analysis Article Info revealed that the optimum value of the variables were 10.76 g/l of starch, 11.95 g/l Accepted: of soybean meal and 1.57 g/l of CaCO .

  • Abstract Tracing Hydrocarbon
    ABSTRACT TRACING HYDROCARBON CONTAMINATION THROUGH HYPERALKALINE ENVIRONMENTS IN THE CALUMET REGION OF SOUTHEASTERN CHICAGO Kathryn Quesnell, MS Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences Northern Illinois University, 2016 Melissa Lenczewski, Director The Calumet region of Southeastern Chicago was once known for industrialization, which left pollution as its legacy. Disposal of slag and other industrial wastes occurred in nearby wetlands in attempt to create areas suitable for future development. The waste creates an unpredictable, heterogeneous geology and a unique hyperalkaline environment. Upgradient to the field site is a former coking facility, where coke, creosote, and coal weather openly on the ground. Hydrocarbons weather into characteristic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can be used to create a fingerprint and correlate them to their original parent compound. This investigation identified PAHs present in the nearby surface and groundwaters through use of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), as well as investigated the relationship between the alkaline environment and the organic contamination. PAH ratio analysis suggests that the organic contamination is not mobile in the groundwater, and instead originated from the air. 16S rDNA profiling suggests that some microbial communities are influenced more by pH, and some are influenced more by the hydrocarbon pollution. BIOLOG Ecoplates revealed that most communities have the ability to metabolize ring structures similar to the shape of PAHs. Analysis with bioinformatics using PICRUSt demonstrates that each community has microbes thought to be capable of hydrocarbon utilization. The field site, as well as nearby areas, are targets for habitat remediation and recreational development. In order for these remediation efforts to be successful, it is vital to understand the geochemistry, weathering, microbiology, and distribution of known contaminants.

The cell wall of strain CS12 Taejon, Korea contains meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diamino acid but no arabinose and 2 Department of Food and galactose. The predominant menaquinone is MK-8(H4). Mycolic acids are Life Science, absent. Strain CS12T has a cellular fatty acid profile containing saturated, Sungkyunkwan University, unsaturated, branched and 10-methyl fatty acids. The major fatty acids are iso- Chunchun-dong 300, Jangan-gu, Suwon, Korea C16:0,C18:1 ω9c and anteiso-C17:0. The GMC content is 69 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rDNA sequences showed that strain CS12T forms an evolutionary lineage within the radiation enclosing the members of the family Intrasporangiaceae and, in particular, a coherent cluster with Janibacter limosus DSM 11140T. The level of 16S rDNA similarity between strain CS12T and J. limosus DSM 11140T is 987%. The phenotypic characteristics and DNA–DNA relatedness data indicate that strain CS12T should be distinguished from J.

The isolates are coccoid to rod-shaped, nonmotile aerobes that form neither spores nor mycelia. They are charac- terized by a peptidoglycan with directly cross-linked rneso-diaminopimelic acid (type Aly), by the presence of menaquinone MK-S(H,), and by the lack of mycolic acids. The strains have complex fatty acid patterns with i-C16:oand straight-chain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids as major components. The G+C content of the DNA is 70 mol%. The results of chemotaxonomic studies and a 16s ribosomal DNA sequence comparison support our proposal to assign these bacteria to a new genus, the genus Janibacter gen. nov.; the type species is Junibucter Zirnosus sp. nov., and the type strain of J. Zirnosus is strain HKI 83 (= DSM 11140). Both spore-forming and asporogenous actinomycetes have and starch were determined by the methods of Gledhill and Casida (10). The been screened during the last few years for useful bioactive cytochrome oxidase test was performed by using DrySlide Oxidase Test strips (Difco).
