Tóm tắt

The aim of the present study was to investigate the tolerance of five new Achromobacter and Pseudomonas strains to kerosene and to establish if the production of several secondary metabolites increases or not when these bacteria were grown in the presence of kerosene. The biodegradation of kerosene by isolated bacteria was also investigated in this study. Five Proteobacteria were isolated from different samples polluted with petroleum and petroleum products. Based on their morphological, biochemical, and molecular characteristics, isolated bacteria were identified as Achromobacter spanius IBBPo18 and IBBPo21, Pseudomonas putida IBBPo19, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa IBBPo20 and IBBPo22. All these bacteria were able to tolerate and degrade kerosene. Higher tolerance to kerosene and degradation rates were observed for P. aeruginosa IBBPo20 and IBBPo22, compared with that observed for A. spanius IBBPo18 and IBBPo21, and P. putida IBBPo19. All these bacteria were able to produce several secondary metabolites, such as surfactants and pigments. Glycolipid surfactants produced by P. aeruginosa IBBPo20 and IBBPo22, A. spanius IBBPo18 and IBBPo21, and P. putida IBBPo19 have a very good emulsification activity, and their activity increased when they were grown in the presence of kerosene. The production of rhamnolipid surfactants by P. aeruginosa IBBPo20 and IBBPo22 was confirmed by detection of rhlAB gene involved in their biosynthesis. Pyocyanin and pyoverdin pigments were produced only by P. aeruginosa IBBPo20 and IBBPo22, while carotenoid pigments were produced by all the isolated bacteria. Significant changes in pigments production were observed when P. aeruginosa IBBPo20 and IBBPo22, A. spanius IBBPo18 and IBBPo21, and P. putida IBBPo19 were grown in the presence of kerosene. Due to their ability to tolerate and degrade kerosene, and also to produce several secondary metabolites, the isolated bacteria could be used in the bioremediation of kerosene-polluted environments.
