Emulsification potential of a newly isolated biosurfactant-producing bacterium, Rhodococcus sp. strain TA6.
TL;DR: An indigenous biosurfactant producing bacterium, Rhodococcus sp strain TA6 was isolated from Iranian oil contaminated soil using an efficient enrichment and screening method during growth on sucrose and several hydrocarbon substrates as sole carbon source as mentioned in this paper.
Journal Article
Emulsification potential of a newly isolated biosurfactant-producing bacterium, Rhodococcus sp. strain TA6 B Biointerfaces
TL;DR: The culture broth was effective in recovering up to 70% of the residual oil from oil-saturated sand packs which indicates the potential value of the biosurfactant in enhanced oil recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by a halophilic microbial consortium
Seyed Mohammad Mehdi Dastgheib,Mohammad Ali Amoozegar,Khosro Khajeh,Mahmoud Shavandi,Antonio Ventosa +4 more
TL;DR: It was postulated that the uncultured Marinobacter strain had the central role in Phenanthrene degradation and the Halomonas strain played an auxiliary role in the culture by utilizing phenanthrene metabolites whose accumulation in the media could be toxic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of phenol in hypersaline conditions by Halomonas sp. strain PH2-2 isolated from saline soil
Azam Haddadi,Mahmoud Shavandi +1 more
TL;DR: A new phenol-degrading halophilic bacterium isolated from a hypersaline soil is reported, indicating the potential application of the strain PH2-2 for treatment of hypersaline Phenol-containing industrial wastewaters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene by recombinant Gordonia alkanivorans RIPI90A.
TL;DR: The dszABC genes from newly reported dibenzothiophene biodesulfurizing bacterium, Gordonia alkanivorans RIPI90A were cloned and sequenced and the maximum desulfurization activity by recombinant resting cells was increased 2.67-fold in comparison to the highest desulfURization activity of native resting cells.
