Abstract:
:In response to environmental regulations, the Canadian oil sands industry aims to reclaim all disturbed areas to equivalent land capability prior to mining operations. However, tailing sands used in reclamation contain residual hydrocarbons and plants growing in these areas may rely on hydrocarbon-degrading endophytic bacteria to survive. This study assessed the hydrocarbon-degrading potential (genes: CYP153, alkB and nah) of culturable and unculturable endophytic bacteria associated with annual barley (Hordeum vulgare) and sweet clover (Melilotus albus) plants in an oil sands reclamation area. Our results suggest higher CYP153 gene copy numbers in sweet clover when compared to barley. Yet, no significant differences were detected in 16S rRNA, alkB and nah genes. In addition, total hydrocarbons, pH, total soil carbon, organic carbon and total nitrogen play an important role in determining hydrocarbon-degrading potential in these communities. The assessment of culturable hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria revealed 42 isolates (total of 316) that were positive for at least one hydrocarbon-degrading gene. Most of these isolates were positive for alkB, and closely match the database for Pantoea, Pseudomonas and Enterobacter spp. Thus, to improve oil sands reclamation strategies, plant inoculation with select hydrocarbon-degrading endophytes could be used to increase plant tolerance and hydrocarbon degradation in these areas.
