Bioelectroremediation of hexadecane in electrical cells containing Aspergillus niger immobilized in alginate

Abstract: Bioelectroremediation (BER) uses electrical current to stimulate catabolism of environmental pollutants, such as petroleum spills. However, applying current to soil may have adverse effects on the microorganisms involved in petroleum degradation. We identify and evaluate the BER capabilities of a strain of Aspergillus niger obtained from petroleum-contaminated soil. Spores of this strain immobilized in alginate spheres (2 g) were mixed with 100 g of hexadecane-contaminated sandy loam soil and exposed to 5, 10,… Show more

“…Morphological characteristics were determined using wet mount microscopy and fluorescence staining with calcein AM (Sigma Aldrich, USA) using a fluorescence microscope (ZEISS, AXIOPHOT) from a 24-hour pure culture growth (Maza et al, 2020). The isolated yeast culture was identified by molecular analysis using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the ITS1 region, 5.8S rRNA subunit and ITS2, following the methodology described by Saavedra et al (2022). DNA was extracted from a 48-hour pure culture growth (Nucleic Acid Extraction and Purification Kit, innuPREP DNA Kit, AnalytikJena).…”

“…The isolated yeast culture was identified through molecular analysis with the use of a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) of the ITS1 e ITS2 (subunit 5.8S rRNA), according to the methodology of Baldera et al (2022). The DNA was extracted from a highly pure 48 h culture (Nucleic acids extraction and purification kit, innuPREP DNA Kit, Analytik Jena).…”
