Use of bacteria for the remediation of sites contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons

Bacteria can be utilized to clean environments polluted with petroleum hydrocarbons through a process involving the introduction of specific bacterial consortia. Various genera such as Bacillus Mojavensis, Aeribacillus, P.

Use of bacteria for the remediation of sites contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons

Use of bacteria for the remediation of sites contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons

Samples

amounts of soil with concentrated hydrocarbons
bacteria isolated from contaminated soils
Gram -
Gram +
variety of aromatic hydrocarbons in bacterial communities

Results

viability
effective metabolic diversity
low cost
attenuation of the pollutant in a certain period of time
degradation of the pollutant
Mono/poly aromatics
Asphaltenes
Resins
alkanes
heavy metals

the inoculation of bacteria had optimal growth and development under different conditions, showing that the degradability of toxic compounds is a fact in favor of this treatment.

There are bacteria that use oil as food and convert it into carbon dioxide and water, significantly reducing pollution in water sources and soils
