Abstract:
:Cultivation on selective media revealed that the oil-sorbents, wheat straw, corncobs and sugarcane bagasse harbor hydrocarbonoclastic, diazotrophic and heavy metal-resistant microorganisms. Nitrogen-free media containing 1.0% crude oil lost between 32.2 and 37.5% of this oil, after 8 months when they have been inoculated with such microorganism-loaded sorbents. The used wheat straw, corncobs and sugarcane bagasse samples, 1.0 g each, absorbed respectively, 1.9, 1.1 and 2.5 g oil samples, and lost 24.3-39.2% of these amounts, after they had been incubated for 8 months. Total genomic DNA's from culture media and sorbents revealed various nitrogenase-coding nifH-genes. Pure hydrocarbonoclastic microbial isolates tolerated certain concentrations of, Hg2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, AsO43- and AsO33-. Some of those isolates even grew excellently with up to 1000 ppm of Pb2+ and 36,000 ppm of AsO43- also in the presence of oil. Tested strains removed the tested heavy metals, Hg2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ from the media and thus, reduced their toxicity against the hydrocarbon-degraders. It was concluded that plant-based sorbents, not only remove oil physically, but also harbor microbial communities effective in spilled oil-bioremediation under multiple stresses. Although each community consisted of one to three species only, the consortia which reached in numbers millions of CFU ml-1 enrich the oily media with fixed nitrogen, and remove heavy metals which otherwise inhibit the oil-degrading microorganisms.
