摘要
Using enrichment culturing method, a microbial population was detected in an oil-contaminated soil nearby an extraction field. Isolated strains were able use medium-length n-alkanes as sole carbon and energy source as assessed by growth experiments. Results showed a high diversity among strains at molecular level, and also in the metabolic profiles. Physiological and biochemical tests showed a similarity within a group of four strains, as confirmed by Biolog MicroLog analysis. Based on 16S rDNA sequences strains were identified as Rhodococcus erythropolis, Acinetobacter baumanii, Burkholderia cepacia and Achromobacter xylosoxidans. Alkane monooxygenase gene (alkB) was successfully detected in all our strains and for the first time alkB genes were found in an A. xylosoxidans strain. This bacterial species has been previously reported as part of microbial communities from oil polluted environments, but there are few studies that address mechanisms details of A. xylosoxidans involvement in n-alkane degradation process.
