Summary

This study isolated and characterized bacteria from hydrocarbon-contaminated soil that can degrade kerosene, with potential applications in bioremediation of fuel-contaminated sites. Research on microbial hydrocarbon degradation contributes to the broader field of biodegradation of synthetic organic pollutants including plastics.

Bacteria capable of decomposing hydrocarbon rocket power kerosene T-1 were isolated and studied.In the course of the studies, 30 isolates of microbial cultures were isolated from soils contaminated with hydrocarbon rocket fuel, of which 9 isolates were selected that actively assimilate kerosene T-1 as the only headwater of carbon.The strains that showed the best results in these screening analyses on four nutrient media with a concentration of T-1 kerosene 1% (10 g/kg) grow well 9 isolates of culture microorganisms: 4, 8, 14, 23, 5, 18, 20, 25 and yeast 12/5.Isolates on a medium with a concentration of T-1 kerosene 2% (20 g/kg) and 5% (50 g/kg) showed good growth in bacterial cultures 5, 18, 20, 25, and yeast 12/5.The selected microorganisms were identified by physiological and biochemical characteristics: 5 -Arthrobacter sp., 18 -Acinetobacter calcoaceticum, 20 -Bacillus sp., 25-Micrococcus roseus, 12/5-Candida sp.Cultivation conditions for isolated microorganisms were created.It has been established that the optimal development temperature for the culture of Arthrobacter sp. 5 is 25-30°C, Acinetobacter calcoaceticum.18 is 30-35 ° , Micrococcus roseus.25 is 25-37 ° .The optimal duration of cultivation of Candida sp.12/5 is 1 day, for the rest of the studied cultures -2 days.

Enhanced remediation of petroleum in soil by petroleum-degrading bacterium strain TDYN1 and the effects of microplastics

Researchers conducted a pot experiment to evaluate the petroleum hydrocarbon degradation capability of bacterium strain TDYN1 in soil and to assess how microplastics affect the bioremediation process. They found that while TDYN1 effectively degraded total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), the presence of microplastics in soil influenced degradation dynamics, with implications for in situ bioremediation strategies.
