Aims: The survival and activity of Rhodococcus sp. strain 1BN, inoculated into naphthalenecontaminated sandy-loam soil microcosms, were studied using classical and molecular methods. Methods and Results: The naphthalene-degrading activity of 1BN in microcosms was examined through viable counts, CO 2 production and naphthalene consumption, while its survival after inoculation was monitored by detecting the contemporary presence of alkane and naphthalene degradative genes and by analysing the 16S rDNA specific restriction profile. The inoculation of 1BN did not significantly enhance naphthalene degradation in the naphthalenecontaminated native soil, where 1BN maintained its catabolic activity also when in the presence of indigenous microflora. Instead the rate of naphthalene degradation by the inoculated 1BN was greater in sterile naphthalene-contaminated soil. The level of 1BN was only slightly higher after inoculation regardless of whether indigenous naphthalene-degrading bacteria were present or not and 1BN remained viable even when the substrate was depleted. Conclusions: This study documents the colonization and growth of 1BN in a non-sterile, naphthalene-added, sandy-loam soil having an active indigenous naphthalene-degrading population. Significance and Impact of the Study: An active and well-established naphthalenedegrading bacterial population in the native soil did not hamper the survival of the introduced 1BN that, through its activity, enhanced the mineralization rate of naphthalene.

The presence of pharmaceutical products and persistent organic products (POPs) in surface waters, their high toxicity and the fact that they are difficult to remove by classical water treatment methods has led to the research and development of alternative methods. POPs are extremely hazardous substances; have a high degree of resistance to chemical and biological degradation; can be easily transported to the atmosphere at great distances and deposited away from the emission site; may cause harm to human health and the environment. The aim of this study is to present a method of bioremediation of contaminated water with pharmaceutical products and POPs using marine brown algae. The results are presented from experiments to remove the Venlafaxine antidepressant and Cypermetrin from aqueous solutions with marine brown alga Saccorhiza sp. Our experiments have led to the conclusion that brown marine alga Saccorhiza sp. is suitable for use in bioremediation of polluted water with venlafaxine and cypermetrin.
