ISOLATION OF PARAFFIN-DEGRADER ACHROMOBACTER SP. FROM AZARSHAR SOILS (EAST AZARBAYJAN, IRAN)
Abstract
Ten pure colonies of microorganisms were isolated and purified from arid soils of Azarshahr (East Azerbaijan, Iran). Of all the isolates, and only strains F10 and E12, identified by molecular tests and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as Achromobacter sp., could degrade liquid paraffin by more than 90%. The primary intermediate product of decomposed paraffin was identified as acetic acid. Analysis of various soil microflora showed the possibility of obtaining strains of bacteria, which in turn can be used to produce microbial preparations, promising for the degradation of organic compounds (like paraffin), by the methods of genetic modification.
