Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop an effective bacterial consortium and determine their ability to overcome nitrogen limitation for the enhanced remediation of diesel-contaminated soils. Towards this, various bacterial consortia were constructed using oil-degrading and nitrogen-fixing microbes. The diesel removal efficiency of various developed consortia was evaluated by delivering the bacterial consortia to the diesel-contaminated soils. The consortium Acinetobacter sp. K-6 + Rhodococcus sp. Y2-2 + NH 4 NO 3 resulted in the highest removal (85.3%) of diesel from the contaminated soil. The consortium containing two different oil-degrading microbes (K-6 + Y2-2) and one nitrogen-fixing microbe Azotobacter vinelandii KCTC 2426 removed 83.1% of the diesel from the soil after 40 days of treatment. The total nitrogen content analysis revealed higher amounts of nitrogen in soil treated with the nitrogen-fixing microbe when compared with that of the soil supplemented with exogenous inorganic nitrogen. The findings in this present study reveal that the consortium containing the nitrogen-fixing microbe degraded similar amounts of diesel to that degraded by the consortium supplemented with exogenous inorganic nitrogen. This suggests that the developed consortium K-6 + Y2-2 + KCTC 2426 compensated for the nitrogen limitation and eliminated the need for exogenous nitrogen in bioremediation of diesel-contaminated soils.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
