Enhanced biodegradation of n-hexane by Pseudomonas sp. strain NEE2.


ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas sp. strain NEE2 isolated from oil-polluted soils could biodegrade n-hexane effectively. In this study, the secretory product of n-hexane biodegradation by NEE2 was extracted, characterized, and investigated on the secretory product's enhanced effect on n-hexane removal. The effects of various biodegradation conditions on n-hexane removal by NEE2, including nitrogen source, pH value, and temperature were also investigated. Results showed that the secretory product lowered surface tension of water from 72 to 40 mN/m, with a critical micelle concentration of 340?mg/L, demonstrating that there existed biosurfactants in the secretory product. The secretory product at 50?mg/L enhanced n-hexane removal by 144.4% within 48?h than the control group. The optimum conditions for n-hexane removal by NEE2 were at temperature of 25-30?°C, pH value of 7-8, and (NH4)2SO4 as nitrogen source. Besides n-hexane, NEE2 could also utilize a variety of carbon sources. These results proved that NEE2 can consume hydrophobic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to produce biosurfactants which can further enhance hydrophobic VOCs degradation.
