The isolate was tentatively identified as Staphylococcus aureus strain DRY11 based on partial 16S rDNA molecular phylogeny and Biolog® GP microplate panels and Microlog® database. Isolate 11 showed an almost linear increase in cellular growth with respect to diesel concentrations with optimum growth occurring at 4% (v/v) diesel concentration. Optimization studies using different nitrogen sources showed that the best nitrogen source was potassium nitrite. Sodium nitrite was optimum at 1.2 g 1-1 and higher concentrations were strongly inhibitory to cellular growth. The optimal pH that supported growth of the bacterium was between 7.5 to 8.0 and the isolate exhibited optimal broad temperature supporting growth on diesel from 27 to 37°C. An almost complete removal of diesel components was seen from the reduction in hydrocarbon peaks observed using Solid Phase Microextraction Gas Chromatography analysis after 5 days of incubation. The characteristics of this bacterium suggest that it is suitable for bioremediation of diesel spills and pollutions in the tropics. 2016-03-21T09:07:07Z 2016-03-21T09:07:07Z 2009-01 Article Journal of Environmental Biology, vol.30 (1), 2009, pages 145-150 0254-8704 http://www.jeb.co.in/journal_issues/200901_jan09_spl/paper_23.pdf http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/41169 en Triveni Enterprises
