Surfactant-enhanced remediation (SER) had been widely applied to remove petroleum hydrocarbon (PH) pollutants, but the degradation mechanism that how to affect the hydrocarbon metabolite ability of microorganism under added surfactant is raring. In this work, the combination bacteria and surfactant were selected to remove PH, and the degradation bottleneck concentration of single-bacteria was 10000.00 mg/L according to the PH degradation rate. However, the degradation efficient of mixed-bacteria was further increased in adding surfactant condition.. Among them, the PH degradation rate of Kocuria rosea + Bacillus odyssey and Microbacterium. sp + B. odyssey had been respectively reached to 81.58±6.29% (added tween-80) and 88.35±7.58% (added rhamnolipid) under above bottleneck concentration. Compared with non-added surfactant, the relative abundances of global overmaps, amino acid metabolism, and carbohydrate metabolism were increased in adding tween-80 condition. However, when added rhamnolipid, the relative abundances of ABC transporters, two-component system, and bacteria chemotaxis had been exhibited enhancement obviously, and aimed to improve of transportation, absorption and degradation of PH. Additionally, the gene abundance of alkB and nah was also significantly increased with above condition. Meanwhile, the gene abundance of alkB and nah was also significantly enhanced by above condition. Sum up, this work offers an important information to insights into the changes of mixed-bacteria function during different systems to degrade PH.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
