Abstract(s)
Experimental studies were carried out, referring to the verification of the existence and characterization
of hydrocarbonoclastic organisms in soil samples obtained in two different areas, one located on the
outskirts of the city (Praia da Alburrica), where various anthropocentric activities contribute to the increase
in fuel pollutants and the other in a protected wood area, 7 km from the same city, where only leisure
activities and environmental education take place (Mata da Machada). Hydrocarbon’s biodegradability
studies, colonies morphologically and biochemically characterization of the microorganisms were
performed. The values of the bioremediation rate of hexane, toluene and gasoline showed higher
bioremediation rates when using consortium cultures which highlight functional potential of the soil
microbial community.
