Hydrocarbon degradation strategy and pyoverdine production using the salt tolerant Antarctic bacterium Marinomonas sp. ef1.

Abstract

Marinomonas sp. ef1, in 1% (v/v) of diesel and biodiesel was able to reproduce itself, confirmed by the OD600 curve; the decrease of COD parameter confirmed the degradation of diesel; in the case of biodiesel the bacteria synthesized a secondary fluorescent compound.

Characterization and identification of long-chain hydrocarbon-degrading bacterial communities in long-term chronically polluted soil in Ogoniland: an integrated approach using culture-dependent and independent methods

“…Marinomonas emerged as the most proficient in degrading both paraffin wax and crude oil. Previous studies have shown that Marinomonas can degrade hydrocarbons to some extent (Melcher et al 2002 ; Gontikaki et al 2018 ; Gidudu and Chirwa 2022 ), and a recent study by Zannotti et al ( 2023 ) found this bacterium associated with the Antarctic marine ciliate Euplotes focardii , has potential for degrading hydrocarbons commonly found in diesel oil. Moreover, Marinomonas can thrive in both marine and terrestrial environments and possesses a genome with sequences encoding various enzymes for benzene and naphthalene degradation (John et al 2020 ).…”

Synthesis of Bioactive Nickel Nanoparticles Using Bacterial Strains from an Antarctic Consortium

“…In this paper, we report a green protocol for the synthesis of NiSNPs using bacteria isolated from a consortium associated with the psychrophilic Antarctic ciliate Euplotes focardii [16][17][18]. The bacteria have been shown to be able to produce metal NPs, including silver and copper NPs [19][20][21][22], beside additional molecules that can be used in several industrial applications [23][24][25]. This biosynthetic approach appears to be a cost-efficient and promising alternative to conventional methods of synthesizing water-soluble NiSNPs.…”
