Production of added value bacterial lipids through valorisation of hydrocarbon-...
Castro, A. R.; Guimarães, Maura Francisca Silva; Oliveira, João Vítor; Pereira, M. AlcinaThis work demonstrates that cork used as oil-spill sorbents, contaminated with liquid hydrocarbons, herein demonstrated with hexadecane, can be biologically treated by Rhodococcus opacus B4 with concomitant lipids production. R. opacus B4 consumed up to 96% of hexadecane (C16) impregnated in natural and regranulated cork sorbents after 48 h incubation, producing 0.59 ± 0.06 g of triacylglycerol (TAG) g 1 of C16...
