          Abstract

          In this research, a diesel-degrading bacterium (strain KJ629314) was isolated from a mining soil contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and properly characterized using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) molecular technique. The 16s rDNA sequence analysis allowed to identify KJ629314 as a strain of Bacillus sp. Experimental phase was conducted to assess the aerobic biodegradation of diesel; to determine the removal effciency and the corresponding microbial growth; diesel was used as a substrate - electron donor - carbon source; and oxygen (via aeration) as the electron acceptor. Tests were conducted in microcosms with sterile sand with nutrients according to the Nitrogen:Phosphorus ratio of 15:1 at different diesel concentrations (10,000; 20,000; 30,000; 40,000 and 50,000 mg/kg soil). Results showed that the strain of Bacillus sp KJ629314 has a high potential in the biodegradation of diesel at the evaluated concentrations, and it was demonstrated that the removal efficiency was greater at low concentrations of diesel obtaining higher values for the microbial growth and diesel biodegradation rate constants. These promising results support the fact that Bacillus sp KJ629314 may be used as a novel biological resource to develop a bioprocess for the bioremediation of diesel-contaminated soil.

          En esta investigación, una bacteria degradadora de diésel (cepa KJ629314) fue aislada de un suelo minero contaminado con hidrocarburos totales de petróleo (HTP) y debidamente caracterizada utilizando la técnica molecular de la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (RCP). El análisis de la secuencia de 16s rDNA permitió identificar KJ629314 como una cepa de Bacillus sp. La fase experimental se llevó a cabo para evaluar la biodegradación aeróbica del diésel; para determinar la eficiencia de remoción y el crecimiento microbiano correspondiente; el diésel se utilizó como sustrato - donador de electrones - fuente de carbono, y el oxígeno (a través de la aireación) como aceptor de electrones. Las pruebas se realizaron en microcosmos empleando arena estéril con nutrientes de acuerdo con la relación Nitrógeno:Fósforo de 15:1 a diferentes concentraciones de diésel (10,000; 20,000; 30,000; 40,000 y 50,000 mg/kg de suelo). Los resultados mostraron que la cepa de Bacillus sp KJ629314 tiene un alto potencial en la biodegradación del diésel en las concentraciones evaluadas, y se demostró que la eficiencia de degradación fue mayor a bajas concentraciones de diésel; obteniéndose valores más altos para el crecimiento microbiano así como para las constantes de velocidad de degradación. Estos prometedores resultados apoyan el hecho de que el Bacillus sp KJ629314 puede ser utilizado como un recurso biológico novedoso para desarrollar un bioproceso para la biorremediación de suelos contaminados con diésel.

          Bioremediation approaches for organic pollutants: a critical perspective.

          Due to human activities to a greater extent and natural processes to some extent, a large number of organic chemical substances such as petroleum hydrocarbons, halogenated and nitroaromatic compounds, phthalate esters, solvents and pesticides pollute the soil and aquatic environments. Remediation of these polluted sites following the conventional engineering approaches based on physicochemical methods is both technically and economically challenging. Bioremediation that involves the capabilities of microorganisms in the removal of pollutants is the most promising, relatively efficient and cost-effective technology. However, the current bioremediation approaches suffer from a number of limitations which include the poor capabilities of microbial communities in the field, lesser bioavailability of contaminants on spatial and temporal scales, and absence of bench-mark values for efficacy testing of bioremediation for their widespread application in the field. The restoration of all natural functions of some polluted soils remains impractical and, hence, the application of the principle of function-directed remediation may be sufficient to minimize the risks of persistence and spreading of pollutants. This review selectively examines and provides a critical view on the knowledge gaps and limitations in field application strategies, approaches such as composting, electrobioremediation and microbe-assisted phytoremediation, and the use of probes and assays for monitoring and testing the efficacy of bioremediation of polluted sites.

              Microbial degradation of hydrocarbons in the environment.

              The ecology of hydrocarbon degradation by microbial populations in the natural environment is reviewed, emphasizing the physical, chemical, and biological factors that contribute to the biodegradation of petroleum and individual hydrocarbons. Rates of biodegradation depend greatly on the composition, state, and concentration of the oil or hydrocarbons, with dispersion and emulsification enhancing rates in aquatic systems and absorption by soil particulates being the key feature of terrestrial ecosystems. Temperature and oxygen and nutrient concentrations are important variables in both types of environments. Salinity and pressure may also affect biodegradation rates in some aquatic environments, and moisture and pH may limit biodegradation in soils. Hydrocarbons are degraded primarily by bacteria and fungi. Adaptation by prior exposure of microbial communities to hydrocarbons increases hydrocarbon degradation rates. Adaptation is brought about by selective enrichment of hydrocarbon-utilizing microorganisms and amplification of the pool of hydrocarbon-catabolizing genes. The latter phenomenon can now be monitored through the use of DNA probes. Increases in plasmid frequency may also be associated with genetic adaptation. Seeding to accelerate rates of biodegradation has been shown to be effective in some cases, particularly when used under controlled conditions, such as in fermentors or chemostats.
