This study aims to investigate the ability of a biosurfactant produced by Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus strain SdK644 isolated from hydrocarbon contaminated sediment to enhance the solubilization rate of crude oil contaminated seawater. Phylogenetic analysis shows that strain SdK644 was very closely related to M. hydrocarbonoclasticus with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 97.44%. Using waste frying oil as inducer carbon source, the producing biosurfactant by strain SdK644 was applied to improve crude oil solubilization in seawater. The preliminary characterization of the produced biosurfactant by FT-IR analysis indicates its possible classification in a glycolipids group. Results from crude oil solubilization assay showed that SdK644 strain biosurfactant was 2-fold greater than Tween 80 surfactant in crude oil solubilization and 12-fold higher than seawater control, as shown by GC-MS analysis of aliphatic compounds. Furthermore, this bioactive compound was shown to be nontoxic against Artemia larvae in short-term acute toxicity bioassay. Generally, the results showed the possible use of M. hydrocarbonoclasticus strain SdK644 biosurfactant in bioremediation processes of the marine environments.

Conventional practices for inorganic nitrogen fertilizer are highly inefficient leading to excess nitrogen in the environment. Excess environmental nitrogen induces ecological (, hypoxia, eutrophication) and public health (, nitrate contaminated drinking water) consequences, motivating adoption of management strategies to improve fertilizer use efficiency. Yet, how to limit the environmental impacts from inorganic nitrogen fertilizer while maintaining crop yields is a persistent challenge.

Coupling ion exclusion and interaction screening within sub-nanoconfinement channels in novel porous material membranes hold great potential to realize highly efficient ion sieving, particularly for high-performance lithium-ion extraction. Diverse kinds of advanced membranes have been previously reported to realize this goal but with moderate performance and complex operations gained. Herein, these issues are circumvented by preparing the consecutive and intact imine-linked three-dimensional covalent organic framework (i.

Bacteria, fungi, archaea, and viruses are reflective organisms that indicate soil health. Investigating the impact of crude oil pollution on the community structure and interactions among bacteria, fungi, archaea, and viruses in Calamagrostis epigejos soil can provide theoretical support for remediating crude oil pollution in Calamagrostis epigejos ecosystems. In this study, Calamagrostis epigejos was selected as the research subject and subjected to different levels of crude oil addition (0 kg/hm, 10 kg/hm, 40 kg/hm).
