Potential of Indigenous Strains Isolated from the Wastewater Treatment Plant of a Crude Oil Refinery.

ABSTRACT: Contamination of the environment with crude oil or other fuels is an enormous disaster for all organisms. The microbial communities for bioremediation have been an effective tool for eliminating pollution. This study aimed to determine individual cultures' and a strain mixture's ability to utilize alkanes (single alkanes and crude oil). The proper study of pure cultures is necessary to design synergistically working consortia. The Acinetobacter venetianus ICP1 and Pseudomonas oleovorans ICTN13 strains isolated from a wastewater treatment plant of a crude oil refinery can grow in media containing various aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons. The genome of the strain ICP1 contains four genes encoding alkane hydroxylases, whose transcription depended on the length of the alkane i
