Bioremediation of Oil-Contaminated Soils of the Zhanazhol Deposit from West Kazakhstan by Pseudomonas mendocina H-3

Table 1

Literature examples on the use of microbial cultures for soil bioremediation.

No	Cultures	Observed effect	Reference
1	Pseudomonas stutzeri, Pseudomonas putida, Bacillus cereus	Alkanes С21–С29 were subjected to deep oxidation up to 80%	[16, 17]
2	Pseudomonas sp. NCIB 9816	Naphthalene dioxygenase catalyzes the oxidation of more than 50 aromatic compounds (including anthracene and phenanthrene)	[18]
3	Pseudomonas fluorescens strain 26 K	75% transforms phenanthrene with the formation of phenanthrenone, 7,8-benzocoumarin and the cleavage products of one of the aromatic rings - 1-carboxy-2-naphthylbutane, 1-carboxy-2-naphthylpropionic, 1- carboxy-2-naphthoic acids	[19, 20]
4	Enterobacteriaceae, Stenotrophomonas, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Achromobacter	Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) removal was 80.05%	[21]
5	Geobacillus kaustophilus, Geobacillus jurassicus, Geobacillus thermocatenulatus, Parageobacillus caldoxylosilyticus, Anoxybacillus geothermalis, Geobacillus stearothermophilus	Completely degrade C37–C40 and increase the ratio of C14–C18	[22]
6	Rhodococcus, Sphingomonas, Variovorax	The byproducts of oxidizing of aromatic hydrocarbons dihydroxylated cleave by intradiol or extradiol ring cleaving dioxygenases through ortho- or meta-cleavage pathway result in intermediates such as protocatechuate and catechols	[23]
