This study examined the capacity of immobilized bacteria to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons. A mixture of hydrocarbon-degrading bacterial strains was immobilized in alginate and incubated in crude oil-contaminated artificial seawater (ASW). Analysis of hydrocarbon residues following a 30-day incubation period demonstrated that the biodegradation capacity of the microorganisms was not compromised by the immobilization. Removal of n-alkanes was similar in immobilized cells and control cells. To test reusability, the immobilized bacteria were incubated for sequential increments of 30 days. No decline in biodegradation capacity of the immobilized consortium of bacterial cells was noted over its repeated use. We conclude that immobilized hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria represent a promising application in the bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated areas.

The adhesion of hydrocarbon degrading bacteria(HDB) differing in surface hydrophobicity was investigated. Cell wall hydrophobicity was modified chemically and physiologically. Modified adhesion deficient mutant of HDB was selected in a soil column assay. Physiologically and chemical modification increased cell surface hydrophobicity. Cell surface characteristics including BATH and FTIR were measured. Physiological modification using ampicillin was not stable, but chemical modification was stable. Hydrocarbon degrading efficiency was measured of TPH modified and unmodifed HDB.

1988. 7.31.~8. 10 동안 남해해역의 북위 $32^{\circ}C$30'~$34^{\circ}C$30', 동경 $123^{\circ}$30'~$128^{\circ}C$30' 내에서 정점 0101-1921로부터의 퇴적토 시료를 채취하여 총 종속영양 세균, 담수 종속영양 세규, 탄화수소 분해세균의 분포를 조사하였다. 각각의 분포는 $3{\times}10^{5}~9.2{\times}10^{6}CFU/cm^{3}$ sedment, $3{\times}10^{3}~2.1{\times}10^{6}CFU/cm^{3}$ sediment, $2{\times}10^{4}~6.2{\times}10^{6}CFU/cm^{3}$ sediment 범위로 나타났다. 총 종속영양 세균에 대한 탄화수소 분해세균의 백분율은 0.1-73.2% 로 다른 해양 퇴적토에서 보고된 값보다 높았다. 한편 상관관계 분석을 통하여 총 종속영양 세균에 대한 탄화수소 분해세균 비율과 담수 종속영양 세균 비율 사이에 r=0.60058 (n= 34) 의 상관계수를 보였고 99.9% 수준 이상에서 유의성을 나타냈다. 이와 같은 결과는 해양에 분포하는 담수 종속영양 세균이 해양으로 유입되는 담수의 영향을 받는 것과 같이 탄화수소 분해세균의 분포 또한 육지로부터 유입되는 담수의 영양을 받는 것을 시사한다. 즉 남해해역 퇴적토의 탄화수소 분해세균 분포는 강을 통하여 육지로부터 해양으로 공급되는 석유 탄화수소에 의한 영향을 받는 것으로 사료된다.

Aromatic hydrocarbon degrading bacteria were isolated from industrial waste by using an agar plate method. The isolate DY-1 was identified as Acinetobacter sp. and found to utilize phenanthrene as tis sole carbon source. THe bacteria were proved to produce salicylic acid as an intermediate from phenanthrene through naphthalene pathway, when the products in the culture were wxamined by thin-layer chromatography. THe $Phn^+$ genes were found to be involved in two plasmids of about 4 and 40kb which were lost and not detected in the DNA samples prepared from the mitomycin C-cured cells by a gel electrophoretic analysis.

분해환경을 형성케하는 평판 고체배지 방법으로 4-CB 분해세균인 DJ-12, DJ-26, FP-6 균주와 2,4,5-T 분해세균인 TP-1균주를 공장폐수로부터 분리하여 각 균주의 분해능고 생화학적 특성을 연구하였다. 분리균주 중 DJ-12, DJ-26 그리고 TP-1은 Pseudomonas 속으로 동정되었다. Chlroinated aromatic hydrocarbon의 분해는 UV-scanning spectrum을 측정함으로써 조사하였는데 4-CB오 2,4,5-T의 peak는 각각 253nm와 292nm에서 나타났다. 각각의 기험 hydrocarbon을 첨가한 배양약에서 각 분해균주를 배양시킴에 따라 253nm와 292nm의 peak가 감소하는 것으로 이들 균주에 의한 시험 hydrocarbon의 분해능이 매우 높다는 것을 확인하였다. 각 시험균주로부터 plasmid DNA를 조사한 결과 모두 plasmid를 함유하고 있어 hydrocarbon 분해유전자가 plasmid에 존재할 수 있음을 알 수 있으며 이들 분해유전자의 유전적 특징을 규명하기 위한 curing test 나 transformation 과정에 필요한 marker를 찾아내기 위하여 몇가지 항생물질에 대한 저항성을 조사하였다.

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have described the importance of bacteria that can degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Here we screened bacterial isolates from commercial gasoline for PAH degraders and characterized their ability to degrade PAHs, lipids and proteins as well as their enantioselective epoxide hydrolase activity, salt tolerance, and seawater survival. METHODS AND RESULTS: One hundred two bacteria isolates from commercial gasoline were screened for PAH degraders by adding selected PAHs on to the surface of agar plates by the sublimation method. A clear zone was found only around the colonies of PAH degraders, which accounted for 13 isolates. These were identified as belonging to Bacillus sp., Brevibacterium sp., Micrococcus sp., Corynebacterium sp., Arthrobacter sp., and Gordonia sp. based on 16S rRNA sequences. Six isolates belonging to Corynebacterium sp., 3 of Micrococcus sp., Arthrobacter sp. S49, and Gordonia sp. H37 were lipid degraders. Arthrobacter sp. S49 was the only isolate showing high proteolytic activity. Among the PAH-degrading bacteria, Arthrobacter sp. S49, Brevibacterium sp. S47, Corynebacterium sp. SK20, and Gordonia sp. H37 showed enantioselective epoxide hydrolase activity with biocatalytic resolution of racemic styrene oxide. Among these, highest enantioselective hydrolysis activity was seen in Gordonia sp. H37. An intrinsic resistance to kanamycin was observed in most of the isolates and Corynebacterium sp. SK20 showed resistance to additional antibiotics such as tetracycline, ampicillin, and penicillin. CONCLUSION: Of the 13 PAH-degraders isolated from commercial gasoline, Arthrobacter sp. S49 showed the highest lipid and protein degrading activity along with high active epoxide hydrolase activity, which was the highest in Gordonia sp. H37. Our results suggest that bacteria from commercial gasoline may have the potential to degrade PAHs, lipids, and proteins, and may possess enantioselective epoxide hydrolase activity, high salt tolerance, and growth potential in seawater.

The rate of bacterial degradation of hydrocarbon was estimated for the measurment of the self-purification capacity of the aquatic ecosystem. Strain ND601P-2, selected as petroleum degrading bacteria from Nakdong River Estuary with high degradability of petroleum, transformed 42% of hexadecane to $CO_{2}$ or cell mateials under the conditions of $25^{\circ}C$, 0.03M NaCl, 167mg-$NH_{4}^+/1, 950 mg-PO_{4}^{3-}$/1, 50 mg-hexadecane/1. The mineralization rate was found to be significantly affected by the temperature and the $Q_{10}$ value was 2.2. Teh optimal salinity of the strain ND601P-2 was 2o/oo. The increased salinity caused the elevation of % respiration value and the prolonged lag phase.

남해안에 위치한 원유저장기지내의 각 정점으로 부터 원유분해세균을 분리하여 동정한 결과 Pseudomonas fluorescens, Acinetobacter baumanii, Pseudomonas maltophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 등으로 동정되었다. 원유를 탄소원으로 첨가한 최소배지상에서 원유분해능을 나타내었으며, 0.5%에서 6%까지의 NaCl 농도변화에 대한 원유분해능을 비교한 결과 5종의 원유분해균이 NaCl의 농도가 증가하였을 경우에는 원유분해능이 상실됨을 확인하였다. 또한 원유는 복잡한 유기화합물로 구성이 되어 있어 분리된 원유분해균이 n-decane, n-hexane, n-octane, n-dodecane 등의 간단한 탄화수소를 자화하는지를 확인하였다. 분리된 원유분해균이 plasmid를 가지는 지를 확인한 결과 Pseudomonas fluorescens 및 Pseudomonas aeruginosa 등에서 분자량이 매우 큰 plasmid가 존재함을 확인하고 ampicillin, tetracycline 및 chloramphenicol등의 항생제에 대한 내성을 조사한 결과 내성을 나타내어 원유분해에 관련된 유전자와 항생제내성을 나타내는 유전자가 plasmid상에 존재할 가능성이 높음을 알수 있다.
