Abstract
- A consortium of bacteria capable of decomposing oily hydrocarbons was isolated from tarballs on the beaches of Terengganu, Malaysia, and classified as Pseudomonas stutzeri , Cellulosimicrobium cellulans , Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas balearica . The Taguchi design was used to optimize the biodegradation of diesel using these bacteria as a consortium. The highest biodegradation of diesel-oil in the experimental tests was 93.6%, and the individual n-alkanes decomposed 87.6-97.6% over 30 days. Optimal settings were inoculum size of 2.5 mL (1.248 OD <subscript>600nm</subscript> ); 12% (v/v) the initial diesel-oil in a minimal salt medium of pH 7.0, 30.0 gL <superscript>-1</superscript> NaCl and 2.0 gL <superscript>-1</superscript> NH <subscript>4</subscript> NO <subscript>3</subscript> concentration, incubated at 42 °C temperature and 150 rpm agitation speed. Parameters significantly improved diesel-oil removal by consortium as shown by the model determination coefficient (R <superscript>2</superscript> = 90.89%; P < 0.001) with a synergistic effect of agitation speed significantly contributing 81.03%. Taguchi design determined the optimal settings for the parameters under study, which significantly improved diesel-oil removal by consortium. This can be used to design a novel bioremediation strategy that can achieve optimal decontamination of oil pollution in a shorter time.<br />Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40201-022-00812-3.<br />Competing Interests: Competing interestsWe wish to confirm that there are no known competing interests associated with this publication.
