ABSTRACT

De aguas del Río Reconquista se han podido aislar cepas de Micromonospora resistentes a altos niveles de cromo y otros metales pesados, capaces de crecer sobre ácido naftalén-2-sulfónico como única fuente de carbono. Este fenotipo es muy estable, lo que hace a este microrganismo interesante desde el punto de vista de la eliminación de residuos industriales que contengan este tipo de sustancias. La biodegradación procede mediante la formación de ácido salicílico y ácido gentísico como intermediarios, metabolitos que han sido aislados mediante cromatografía gaseosa y caracterizados mediante espectroscopía de masa

ABSTRACT

De suelos contaminados con bifenilos policlorados (PCBs) se ha aislado una cepa de Klebsiella oxytoca que crece en un medio mineral con una mezcla comercial de PCBs como única fuente de carbono. La mezcla utilizada contiene una variedad de congéneres de bifenilos bi-, tri-, y tetraclorados, siendo los triclorados los constituyentes mayoritarios. La cepa aislada puede crecer también con 6-cloroquinolina, y menos eficientemente, con clorobenceno. En ensayos de consumo en frasco, el microorganismo degrada los PCBs casi completamente en tres días. En estas condiciones se forman compuestos acídicos y/o fenólicos que son degradados en siete días de incubación

ABSTRACT

A bacterial community able to degrade cis- and trans-decalin (decahydronaphthalene) in the presence of n-decane could be isolated. It was composed by a couple of Pseudomonas strains (D1 and D2, respectively). Neither the community nor the isolated strains were able to grow on decalin alone. D1 grew on decalin plus n-decane. Both could grow on n-decyl alcohol, acetate and adipate. From hydrocarbonated substrates it would be generated a metabolic chain which allows the growth of the community members, and then it resulted to be stable. Characteristics of both strains are described.

ABSTRACT

Derivatives of anionic surfactants, specially naphthalene sulphonates, when discharged into natural waters are accumulated in waters and sediments because of their poor biodegradability. A four-membered bacterial community, able to degrade the sodium salt of 2-naphthalene-sulphonic acid (2NS), was isolated from Río Reconquista. All the isolated strains consisted of gram-negative, strictly aerobic rods, with a strong proteolytic activity and resistance to high levels of cations like Cr (III), Hg (II), Cd (II) and Pb (II). Some of them were resistant to gentamicin, amikacin and chloramphenicol. These strains appeared to be related to the genera Pseudomonas and Alcaligenes. When isolated, if growing on 2NS, a brown-dark pigment is formed by three of them, resulting in an inhibition of growth. The presence of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain avoided the production of pigment and resulting in a complete consume of 2NS.
