Biodegradation potential of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by bacteria strains enriched from Yangtze River sediments

Abstract: Microbial degradation is an effective method for the removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) compounds from polluted sediments. Surface sediments collected from Yangtze River in the downtown area of Chongqing were found to contain PAH concentrations to various different degrees. Two bacteria strains (termed PJ1 and PJ2) isolated from the sediment samples could use phenanthrene (Phe) and fluoranthene (Flu) as carbon sources for growth thereby degrading these two PAH compounds. Using 16S rDNA gene seq… Show more

“…Meanwhile, the enrichment of many organic pollutant-degrading bacteria was found in FZS, such as genera Sphingomonas , Mycobacterium , Novosphingobium , and Bacillus (Fig. 4 ) [ 78 80 ]. The predicted higher enrichment of chemical pollutant degradation pathways means that the pollution was more severe in FZS, while such functional response of bacterial community might accelerate the bioremediation of contaminated zone.…”
