FACULTATIVE ANAEROBIC MICROORGANISM SHEWANELLA PUTREFACIENS DK-1 AND METHOD FOR DECOMPOSING OIL POLUTANTS USING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A facultative anaerobic microorganism, Shewanella putrefaciens DK-1, and a method for decomposing oil pollutants using the same are provided. Since the facultative anaerobic microorganism is viable in the presence of oxygen, they can effectively decompose oil pollutants even if in the presence of air. CONSTITUTION: The facultative anaerobic microorganism, Shewanella putrefaciens DK-1 (KCTC 8966P), which is viable in the presence or absence of air, decomposes oil pollutants containing aliphatic compounds such as hexadecane and uses oxygen, NO3 and Fe(III) as a final electron receptor. The oil pollutants, which are produced by the leakage of oil from oil tank, wrong treatment of petroleum compounds, and so forth, are biologically decomposed by adding the fermented culture of Shewanella putrefaciens DK-1 (KCTC 8966P) into the oil pollutants.
