This book was released on 1989-03-31 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how the biological transport, bioaccumulation, disposition, and toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in the aquatic environment are influenced by the ability or inability of organisms to metabolize these environmental pollutants. Written by leading scientists in the fields of PAH metabolism and toxicity in both aquatic and mammalian systems, this book discusses recent advances in the areas of PAH biogeochemistry and bioaccumulation, microbial degradation, enzymes of activation, and detoxication, metabolism of PAH, and laboratory and field studies on carcinogenic/toxic effects. Additionally, important similarities and differences in metabolism of PAH by aquatic and terrestrial organisms are featured. The discussion of bioavailability, metabolism, and subsequent toxic effects should aid in the assessment of the ecological consequences of PAH in the aquatic environment.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Screening of hydrocarbon degrading microorganisms isolated from three habitats in Western New York State by selective enrichment technique, resulted in the collection of 20 distinct species. All strains were cultivated in liquid media with crude oil as a sole carbon and energy source. Bacterial strains capable of degrading hydrocarbons belong to the genera Serratia marcescens, Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas sp. Carbon dioxide evolution experiments were used as the major indicator of microbial degradation of oil in biometric flasks. The measurements of CO2 evolution rates have shown to effectively evaluate the biodegradation rates by providing significant data within a short period. The chemical composition of the residual oil was determined by gas-chromatographic techniques. The results indicate that the highest accumulation of carbon dioxide and the highest degradation efficiency of medium chain alkanes were observed on Leepershank crude oil, whereas degradation of Mexican crude oil with a composition of higher saturated and substituted hydrocarbons was prolonged. Additionally, biodegradation of Smakover oil was significantly reduced due to a high content of aromatic and cyclic hydrocarbons. Noticeable formation of solubilizing agents was observed by GR1 (not yet identified clone) and Serratia marcescens. The results also suggest that the application of bacterial consortiums containing combinations of two isolated strains enhanced the degradation of Mexican crude oil and also lead to a successful utilization of complex organic industrial waste. The bacterial mixture of GR1 clone and Acinetobacter baumannii demonstrated the highest growth and CO2 evolution on both substrates among all tested bacterial blends"\--Abstract.

Download or read book Advances in Environmental Biotechnology written by Raman Kumar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-19 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book aims to provide a comprehensive view of advanced environmental approaches for wastewater treatment, heavy metal removal, pesticide degradation, dye removal, waste management, microbial transformation of environmental contaminants etc. With advancements in the area of Environmental Biotechnology, researchers are looking for the new opportunities to improve quality standards and environment. Recent technologies have given impetus to the possibility of using renewable raw materials as a potential source of energy. Cost intensive and eco-friendly technology for producing high quality products and efficient ways to recycle waste to minimize environmental pollution is the need of hour. The use of bioremediation technologies through microbial communities is another viable option to remediate environmental pollutants, such as heavy metals, pesticides and dyes etc. Since physico-chemical technologies employed in the past have many potential drawbacks including higher cost, and lower sustainability. So there is need of efficient biotechnological alternatives to overcome increasing environmental pollution. Hence, there is a need for environmental friendly technologies that can reduce the pollutants causing adverse hazards on humans and surrounding environment.

This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Petroleum refineries around the world have generated solid wastes during refining process and stocking of crude oil. This leads to critical effects in the environment. Thus remediation of these hydrocarbons by natural decontamination is of at most importance. Bioremediation is a non-invasive and cost effective technique for the clean-up of these petroleum hydrocarbons. In this study I have investigated the ability of microorganism present in the soil sample collected from petroleum contaminated area of Kalady, Kerala, to degrade the hydrocarbons. The soil samples collected were initially screened for diesel degraders by culturing isolates in BH media with diesel as carbon and energy source . The diesel oil degraders were identified as bacillus and pseudomonas based on the morphological and biochemical studies The ability of these microorganisms to grow by using diesel as carbon source were analysed by culturing them in BHMS broth and evaluating their growth colourimetrically

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book details three main topics: the screening and characterization of hydrocarbons from air, soil and water; technologies in the biodegradation of hydrocarbons; and the bioconversion of hydrocarbons for biofuel/chemicals, as well as recent developments in the remediation of hydrocarbons and their environmental benefits. The first section focuses on screening methods, qualitative and quantitative analysis of hydrocarbons from soil, air and water environments, speciation of hydrocarbons, and natural bioremediation strategies in such environments. The second section examines technologies for removing hydrocarbon contaminants from various environments, especially advanced technologies for the removal of hydrocarbons and in-situ and ex-situ remediation strategies and problems, as well as concrete case studies. The last section, covering the bioconversion of hydrocarbons for biofuel/chemicals, highlights the biochemicals and bioproducts developed from hydrocarbons, with a particular focus on biochemical and chemical technologies used to produce biopolymers, biofuel precursors and commodity chemicals from hydrocarbons.
