چکیده مقاله :
سابقه و هدف: هیدروکربن های آروماتیک چند حلقه ای، یکی از مهمترین آلاینده های زیست محیطی هستند. پاکسازی زیستی با استفاده از میکروارگانیسم ها، روشی مقرون به صرفه و ایمن جهت حذف و یا تبدیل این آلاینده ها به ترکیباتی با سمّیت کمتر است. این مطالعه با هدف جداسازی و معرفی میکروارگانیسم های تجزیه کننده فلورن از سواحل جنوبی دریای خزر انجام گردید.مواد و روش ها: غنی سازی و جداسازی مخلوط میکروبی، در محیط کشت پایه نمکی حاوی فلورن انجام شد. تجزیه کیفی فلورن در محیط پایه نمکی جامد بررسی شد. میزان تجزیه فلورن توسط مخلوط میکروبی نیز با استفاده از کروماتوگرافی گازی در محیط پایه نمکی مایع تعیین شد. شناسایی مولکولی جدایه های باکتریایی و قارچی به ترتیب با تعیین توالی 16S rRNA و ناحیه محافظت شده ITS انجام گردید.یافته ها: مخلوط میکروبی شامل سویه های باکتریایی (متعلق به جنس های سودوموناس، آکروموباکتر، کریزئوباکتریوم، میکروباکتریوم و رودوکوکوس) و سویه ی قارچی (متعلق به جنس فوزاریوم) غنی سازی و جداسازی شد. آنالیزکروماتوگرافی نشان داد که مخلوط میکروبی قادر است در دمای 30 درجه سلسیوس، اسیدیته 7 و طی 7 روز گرماگذاری، 87٪ از فلورن با غلظت 200 میلی گرم در لیتر را در محیط پایه نمکی تجزیه کند.نتیجه گیری: با توجه به نتایج، مخلوط میکروبی در شرایط یاد شده بخش گسترده ای از فلورن را از محیط پایه نمکی حذف می کند و در شرایط مشابه، ممکن است بتواند از طریق پاکسازی زیستی بخش چشمگیری از فلورن را از منطقه آلوده حذف کند.
Background and Objectives: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are one of the most important environmental pollutants. Bioremediation using microorganisms is a cost-effective and safe method for the removal or conversion of these pollutants to less toxic substances. This study aimed to isolate and introduce fluorene-degrading microorganisms from the southern coast of the Caspian Sea. Materials and Methods: The mixed microbial culture enrichment and isolation was done in salt-based culture medium containing fluorene. The qualitative analysis of fluorene degradation in the solid basal salt medium was investigated. The rate of fluorene removal by the isolated mixed microbial culture was also determined using gas chromatography in a liquid salt base medium. The molecular identification of the fungal and bacterial isolates was performed using the sequential analysis of the ITS protected region and 16S rRNA sequencing, respectively. Results: The mixed microbial culture including bacterial isolates (belonging to the genus Pseudomonas, Acromobacter, Chryseobacterium, Microbacterium, and Rhodococcus) and fungal isolate (belonging to the genus Fusarium) was enriched and isolated. Chromatographic analysis showed that the mixed microbial culture was able to degrade 87% of fluorene (200 mg / l ) in a basal salt medium at 30 °C, pH 7 and 7 days of incubation. Conclusion: According to the results, the mixed microbial can remove a large amount of fluorene from the basal salt medium under the mentioned conditions and it is possible that under a similar situation, it can remove a large amount of fluorene from the contaminated area through bioremediation.
