Identification and Characterization of an Indigenous Hydrocarbonoclastic Bacterial Strain Stenotrophomonas maltophilia n

Microorganisms have an important role in the bioremediation of petroleum contaminants that cause great concern about their persistent toxicity, carcinogenicity and difficult elimination. In this study, crude oil-degrading bacterial strain SP54N was isolated from the contaminated marine sediments and seawater at the harbor of Oran, Northwestern Algeria, using Bushnell-Hass salt medium. This strain could support high concentrations of crude oil (up to 10% v/v), and was identified as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia by sequencing and analyzing the 16s rDNA with the BLAST program on the NCBI website. The effects of pH, temperature and salinity on rate growth of strain SP54N, in BHSM medium supplemented with 2% (v/v) of crude oil as sole carbon and energy source, were studied.
