Abstract

The invention relates to an isolated bacterial strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa species, referred to as Pseudomonas aeruginosa CSMY-1, deposited in the Microbial Genetic Resources Bank of the Chilean Collection of Microbial Genetic Resources (CChRGM), under accession number RGM2262, on Aug. 7, 2015, which is a facultative strain that can remove chemical components having characteristics that pollute natural or industrial effluents or soils by degrading compounds. The invention also relates to a method for the pollutant bioremediation of a contaminated environments, comprising: a) adding bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa CSMY-1 in the form of a biofilm to said contaminated environment; and b) incubating said bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa CSMY-1 in the form of a biofilm in said environment.

Claims (13)

1. A method for bioremediation of pollutants from a contaminated environment, said method comprising:

a. growing bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa deposited in the Microbial Genetic Resources Bank of the Chilean Collection of Microbial Genetic Resources (CChRGM) under accession number RGM2262, having greater efficiency of removal of different types of pollutants grown in a medium with a trace metal solution;

b. incubating said bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa , accession number RGM2262, together with a polyethylene sheet in the medium to form a biofilm during a period of time from 5 to 10 days, from 20° C.-40° C. at a pH range from 4 to 11 to allow the removal of pollutants; and

c. exposing said biofilm to contaminated soils or liquid industrial waste from textile industry, cellulose industry, petroleum industry or other industry containing arsenic, wherein in a maximum of 5 days, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa , accession number RGM2262, removes over 90% of pollutants in said contaminated soils or liquid of industrial waste.

2. The method for bioremediation according to claim 1 , wherein the strain has an increased activity for removal of pollutants from industrial effluents, which contain cellulose, Kraft lignin, textile compounds, dyes, phenols, arsenic (III), hydrocarbons and petroleum derivatives.

3. The method for bioremediation according to claim 1 , wherein for biofilm formation, bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa RGM2262 is incubated in a culture medium at an initial concentration of from 0.01 to 10 g/L of the strain together with the polyethylene sheet, for a period of time from 3 to 15 days at a temperature from 25° C. to 40° C.

4. The method for bioremediation according to claim 1 , wherein pollutants removed by bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa RGM2262 in biofilm form are pollutants from the textile industry, which contain dyes selected from the group consisting of Reactive Black 5, Drimarene Color Red K4BL (RD K4-BL) and Cibacron Brilliant Yellow 3G-P (CBY 3G-P).

5. The method for bioremediation according to claim 1 , wherein pollutants removed by bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa RGM2262 in biofilm form are pollutants from cellulose industry which contain lignin in the waste.

6. The method for bioremediation according to claim 1 , wherein pollutants removed by bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa RGM2262 in biofilm form are pollutants from petroleum industry with petroleum waste and their derivatives.

7. The method for bioremediation according to claim 1 , wherein pollutants removed by bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa RGM2262 in biofilm form are arsenic (III)-containing waste.

8. The method for bioremediation of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises adding glucose at a concentration from 0.1 to 0.5 mg/L.

9. The method for bioremediation according to claim 1 , wherein the trace metals used are Co, Ni, Mg, Fe at a volume from 10 to 200 μL.

10. The method for bioremediation of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises adding iron at a concentration from 0.05 to 0.1 mg/L.
