Abstract
Salinization and oil contamination of the surrounding soil are common hazards of exploiting and processing hydrocarbons, requiring remediation of the mineral-oil-contaminated soil. This study reports results of the degradation of diesel fuels by indigenous microbial communities from Argentinian saline soils, the emphasis being on assessing the possibilities of remediating oil-contaminated soils on high salinity. Results showed that the majority of diesel fuel hydrocarbons can be degraded by bacterial communities of saline soils at salt concentrations of up to 17.5 per cent in the aqueous phase. Although none of the microbial communities were effective in the presence of 25 per cent salt, living cell counts showed that components of the microbial population survived even after long-term exposure. Surviving communities were identified as members of the genera Cellulomonas, Bacillus, Dietzia, and Halomonas. 20 refs., 4 tabs., 4 figs.
