| isolation and characterization of alkane degrading bacteria from petroleum reservoir waste water in iran (kerman and tehran provenances). | petroleum products spill and leakage have become two major environmental challenges in iran. sampling was performed in the petroleum reservoir waste water of tehran and kerman provinces of iran. alkane degrading bacteria were isolated by enrichment in a bushnel-hass medium, with hexadecane as sole source of carbon and energy. the isolated strains were identified by amplification of 16s rdna gene and sequencing. specific primers were used for identification of alkane hydroxylase gene. fifteen alk ... | 2013 | 23790464 |
