“…The high biodiversity recorded (78 taxa) and the presence of actively growing hyphae in the samples demonstrates the existence of an important living fungal community immediately after the oil spill. These results are in accordance with the reported microbial bloom that usually characterized the oil-polluted environment, immediately after the spill (Bik et al, 2012;Sadaba and Sarinas, 2010). Water and sediments represent very different ecological niches where specific chemical-physicals parameters, including also the bioavailability of oil, affect the microbial community that populate them.…”

Bioremediation of marine environment could be the response to oil spills threats. In the present study the fungal community from a Mediterranean marine site chronically interested by oil spills was investigated. Sixty-seven taxa were isolated from water sample and 17 from sediments; for many of the identified species is the first report in seawater and sediments, respectively. The growth of 25 % of the fungal isolates was stimulated by crude oil as sole carbon source. Four strains were selected to screen hydrocarbons degradation using the 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP) colorimetric assay. A. terreus MUT 271, T. harzianum MUT 290 and P. citreonigrum MUT 267 displayed a high decolorization percentage (DP ≥ 68 %). A. terreus displayed also the highest decreases of hydrocarbons compounds (up to 40 %) quantified by gas-chromatography analysis.These results suggest that the selected fungi could represent potential bioremediation agents with strong crude oil degradative capabilities.

“…Unfortunately the knowledge of the fungal community associated to marine contaminated sites is scarce, being the central topic of just few researches (Al-Nasrawi, 2012;Elshafie et al, 2007;Sadaba and Sarinas, 2010;Salmanov et al, 2008;Salvo et al, 2010;Simister et al, 2015).…”
