Unlabelled: In this study, 13 diesel degrading bacteria were isolated from the oil contaminated soils and the promising strains identified as ED1 and BN were evaluated for their diesel degrading capabilities. These strains degraded the diesel optimally at 30 °C, pH 7.0 and 1% diesel concentration. Both the strains produced biofilm at 1% diesel concentration indicating their ability to tolerate diesel induced abiotic stress. Gravimetric analysis of the spent medium after 7 days of incubation showed that ED1 and BN degraded 68.61% and 76% diesel, respectively, while biodegradation reached more than 90% after 21 days. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis of the degraded diesel showed 1636.67 cm (C=C stretch, N-H bond) peak corresponding to alkenes and primary amines, while GC-TOF-MS analysis showed decline in hydrocarbon intensities after 7 days of incubation. The present study revealed that newly isolated ED1 and BN were able to degrade diesel hydrocarbons (C11-C18, and C19-C24) efficiently and have potential for bioremediation of the oil-contaminated sites.

A bacterial strain P1, capable of degrading diesel and converting thiosulfate to sulfate was isolated from an oil-contaminated soil sample. The cells were Gram-stain-negative, slightly curved rods and motile with a single polar flagellum. Growth of the strain was observed at 4-45 °C (optimum at 28 °C), at pH 4.

The bioremediation method is considered an economical and environmentally friendly strategy for the remediation of oil-contaminated soils. However, some oil field areas have extreme environmental conditions that make it difficult to establish microbes for bioreme-diation. In this study, bacteria were isolated from oil-contaminated soils of the Dehloran oil fields, which have very harsh soil and weather conditions.

Background: Exposure to air pollution is associated with worldwide morbidity and mortality. Diesel exhaust (DE) emissions are important contributors which induce vascular inflammation and metabolic disturbances by unknown mechanisms. We aimed to determine molecular pathways activated by DE in the liver that could be responsible for its cardiometabolic toxicity.

Engine oil is a valuable source of information on the technical condition of the drive unit. Under the influence of many factors, including operating conditions, time, high temperature, and various types of contamination, the oil gradually degrades, which can result in serious engine damage. The subject of the article focuses on an attempt to answer the questions of how engine failure affects the degradation of engine oil and whether we can use this knowledge to detect potential problems in public transport vehicles at an early stage.
