A highly enriched halophilic culture was established with benzene as the sole carbon source by using a brine soil obtained from an oil production facility in Oklahoma. The enrichment completely degraded benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes within 1 to 2 weeks. Also, [14C]benzene was converted to 14CO2, suggesting the culture's ability to mineralize benzene. Community structure analysis revealed that Marinobacter spp. were the dominant members of the enrichment.
通过使用从俄克拉荷马州一个石油生产设施获取的盐渍土,建立了一种以苯作为唯一碳源的高度富集嗜盐培养物。该富集培养物在1至2周内完全降解了苯、甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯。此外,[14C]苯被转化为14CO2,表明该培养物具有将苯矿化的能力。群落结构分析显示,海杆菌属是该富集培养物中的优势成员。
