Identification of Ascomycetes Recovered From Petrol Stations in the Metropolitan Region of João Pessoa-PB, Brazil
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Petroderivatives from petrol stations constantly contaminate the urban environment and are responsible for significant negative impacts on it. Fungi are one of the main groups responsible for the degradation process of these compounds in soils. The aim of this work was to isolate and identify filamentous fungi from three petrol stations in the Metropolitan Region of João Pessoa, a municipality in Northeast Brazil. The microorganisms, isolated from the soil and diesel oil samples, stored in the tanks, were identified by coverslip technique using Sabouraud-Dextrose Agar. Eight fungal isolates were obtained from three different genera of the Ascomycota: Paecilomyces (strains TP01 and TP08), Penicillium (strains TP02 and TP07) and Aspergillus (strains TP04, TP05, TP06 and TP13). A Simple test of hydrocarbonoclastic activity indicated that the strains recovered from soil and fuel samples were recognized for their potential as bioremediation agents, so that they can be used in further tests aimed the removal of petroleum hydrocarbons, particularly in soil.
