Article Description

Petroleum-contaminated saline-alkali soils are severe environmental problems in the whole world. However, finding a comprehensive method for these petroleum-contaminated soils still needs to be improved. This study isolated a petroleum-degrading strain (Acinetobacter sp. Y-1) from the oily sludge. In order to test the influence factors on the bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated saline-alkali soils, we conducted six treatments in pot trials, including control (CK), Y-1 (strain only), CCBC (biochar derived from corn cobs), CC-MBC (corn cobs biochar modified by concentrated sulfuric acid), CN (Y-1 combined with CCBC) and CM (Y-1 combined with CC-MBC). The results showed that CM had the highest petroleum degradation rate (39.4 %), and its ESP has significantly decreased by efficiently achieving Na+ fixation and regulating cations in the contaminated soil. Soil nutrients, such as SOC and TN, decreased in CM compared to CK, while DOC increased. Microbial community analysis indicated that the CM treatment decreased the diversity of the soil bacterial community while increasing the proportion of indigenous bacteria, i.e., Firmicutes and Actinobacteriota, which positively correlate with petroleum degrading. FAPROTAX results further indicated that CM treatment has enriched many microorganisms related to degrading petroleum, improving the removal of hazardous organic pollutants. In summary, this method has great potential and combined effect in bioremediation technology for petroleum-contaminated saline-alkali soils.
