| Abstract: | Following
enrichment on benzoate five bacterial isolates capable of aerobic growth on
dibenzothiophene were obtained from sea water collected off the west coast of
India near the city of Goa. Sampling location had been previously contaminated
with furnace oil spilled from a tanker. Classified as marine bacteria by their
requirement for and optimum growth on 3% NaCl, all the isolates were identified
by morphological observations and biochemical tests as belonging to the genes Alkaligenes. A single isolates producing
intense red pigmented colony when growing on dibenzothiophene was chosen for
further studies and designated as Strain JR110. During catabolism of
dibenzothiophene intermediates were observed after initial dissolution and
complete mineralization was achieved. JR110, independently confirmed as
belonging to the genus Alkaligenes by
Im Tech, India was deposited in their culture collection as MTCC3317. |
