“…The most common contaminants in the environment are petroleum hydrocarbons; the most often released hydrocarbons from crude oil and liquid petroleum products are the lighter fractions which are volatile (Cozzarelli and Baehr, 2003). Low molecular weight hydrocarbons (C 8 -C 10 ) were not detected in either surface water or sediment along the creek; this could be due to their higher solubility and bioavailability (Kuppusamy et al, 2020b). Studies have recorded that trend of hydrocarbon susceptibility to microbial degradation is as follows: linear alkanes > branched alkanes > small aromatics > cyclic aromatics (Brooijmans et al, 2009;Leahy and Colwell, 1990).…”

“…Refined petroleum hydrocarbons are highly lipophilic and volatile, this promotes their ability to be absorbed through the lungs and gastrointestinal tract or organisms (Dalefield, 2017). When PHs enter into aquatic ecosystems, they can cause great harm to organisms; they pose acute to chronic toxicity to organisms depending on their metabolism and photooxidation (Kuppusamy et al, 2020b). PHs can bioaccumulate in larger organisms through trophic transfer by the ingestion of lower organisms or through direct ingestion by the adsorption of HCs on organic matter (Quintana-Rizzo et al, 2015).…”

This study was designed to assess total petroleum hydrocarbon (THP) concentrations in the surface water and sediment sampled from Woji Creek and to assess potential ecological and human health risk due to petroleum hydrocarbons along the creek. Physicochemical parameters [pH, temperature (T), electrical conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), total dissolved solids (TDS)] were in-situ measured from sediment and surface water; hydrological parameters (width, depth and volume) were used to calculate the flow rate (discharge) at different stations of the creek. Trend of TPH in the surface water samples along the creek were as follows: St4 (3.639 AE 1.121 mg/L) > St3 (2.449 AE 0.623 mg/L) > St1 (1.457 AE 0.244 mg/L) > St2 (1.069 AE 0.228 mg/L) > St5 (1.010 AE 0.120 mg/L) Trend of TPH concentration across the creek was as follows: St1 -8.758 AE 0.697 mg/kg > St3 -7.675 AE 0.541 mg/kg > St5 -5.515 AE 0.401 mg/kg > St4 -5.075 AE 0.363 mg/kg > St2 -3.162 AE 0.307 mg/kg. Diagnostic indices indicate that the hydrocarbon in the creek was from petrogenic source. Estimation of ecological risk indicated risk in the surface water but not in the sediment. However, human health risk assessment indicated no risk due to human ingestion of the sediment or surface water.

“…Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs), which are common contaminants in the environment, include several hundred hydrocarbon compounds that originate from the distillates of crude oil in the form of kerosene, gasoline, diesel, motor oil, solvents, etc. [ 29 ]. Higher levels of TPHs in seawater were measured at the ports due to intense naval traffic, long-term leakage, accidental spills from ships, industrial and urban sewage discharges, or operational failures in naval activities.…”

The lysosomal membrane stability (LMS) of hemocytes in wild mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) as a biomarker of cellular stress for chemical pollution was tested by neutral red retention time (NRRT) assays. To assess the environmental contamination in the study area, seawater quality and pollutant bioaccumulation throughout the soft tissue of mussels were investigated. The samples were collected in July 2022 at four sites on the Romanian Black Sea coast considered to be differently affected by contamination. To support the suitability of LMS as a biomarker of contaminant-induced stress, the contaminant body burdens of the mussels were compared with the NRRT values. The results showed a significantly reduced NRRT in all investigated locations, particularly in port areas (mean retention time between 11 and 14 min). The elevated bioaccumulation of organochlorinated pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and low NRRTs were observed at the most contaminated sites (i.e., ports). The low lysosomal stability reflected stress and damage in the hemocytes of mussels and could be related to the body burdens of contaminants. LMS is an effective indicator of health status in mussels and could be considered a sensitive biomarker of cellular stress induced by contaminant exposure.

“…With the rapid growth of the global economy, worldwide demand for oil, as well as the occurrence of oil spill accidents in offshore oil facilities, such as tankers and offshore oil platforms, has increased greatly [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Oil spill accidents cause a devastating blow to the marine environment [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in crude oil are harmful to humans [ 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”

Effects of Chlorella vulgaris Enhancement on Endogenous Microbial Degradation of Marine Oil Spills and Community Diversity

et al. 2022

Biofortification could improve the bioremediation efficiency of microbes in the reparation of marine environmental damage caused by oil spills. In this paper, Chlorella vulgaris LH-1 was used as a fortifier to enhance the degradation of a marine oil spill by endogenous microorganisms. The addition of C. vulgaris LH-1 increased the degradation efficiency of crude oil by 11.09–42.41% and considerably accelerated oil degradation efficiency. Adding C. vulgaris LH-1 to a crude oil environment can improve the activity of endogenous seawater microorganisms. The results of high-throughput sequencing showed that the main bacterial genera were Oceanicola, Roseibacillus, and Rhodovulum when exotrophic C. vulgaris LH-1 and seawater endogenous microorganisms degraded low-concentration crude oil together. However, the addition of high-concentration nutrient salts changed the main bacterial genera in seawater to unclassified Microbacterium, Erythrobacter, and Phaeodactylibacter. The addition of C. vulgaris LH-1 increased the abundance of marine bacteria, Rhodococcus, and Methylophaga and decreased the abundance of Pseudomonas, Cladosporium, and Aspergillus. The functional prediction results of phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states indicated that C. vulgaris LH-1 could improve the metabolic ability of seawater endogenous microorganisms to degrade endogenous bacteria and fungi in crude oil.
