PUCCI, OSCAR HÉCTOR; ACUNA, ADRIÁN  e  GRACIELA NATALIA, PUCCI. Biodegradation Waste of the Stations Service by Rhodococcus erythropolis ohp-al-gp. Acta biol.Colomb. [online]. 2013, vol.18, n.2, pp.251-258. ISSN 0120-548X.

The strain Rhodococcus erythropolis ohp-al-gp was isolated from turbine oil contaminated soil from northern San Cruz province, Argentina. Because of its potential in bioremediation, the aim was to know the abilities for degradation of pure compounds and mixtures of hydrocarbons, as well as degradation in the presence and absence of diesel nitrogen measured by gas chromatography. The strain possesses the ability to use diesel, kerosene, lubricating oil, pristane, hexane, heptane, octane, pentadecane and hexadecane. R. erythropolis ohp-al-gp has excellent potential for bioremediation of hydrocarbons, which are conflictives as lubricating oils, their potential use in removing mud from washing engines or gas stations would be its most important application. The degradation rate in optimal culture conditions, gives it an additional advantage. It also has a low degradation in the absence of nitrogen, a frequent limiting factor in Patagonian soils.
