    Synergistic Capability of Bacterial-fungal Co-culture to Degrade Drill Cutting Hydrocarbon
    Author(s): Desi Utami, Donny Widianto, Muhammad Saifur Rohman, Sarmad Muhammad Soomar, Julia Anggun, Salman Ranani and Irfan Dwidya Prijambada*

    Petroleum is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. No single species of microorganisms is able to degrade all components of the petroleum. Mutually beneficial interaction of microorganisms in the form of a consortium is required during the process of oil degradation. One form of mutually beneficial interaction between fungi and bacteria is biofilm formed by bacteria on fungal surface. The formation of bacterial biofilm on fungal surface was reported to increase the synergistic action of the two microorganisms in destroying certain complex compounds. This work was aimed to assess the capacity of hydrocarbon degrading-bacterial biofilm on the surface of hydrocarbon degrading-fungal surface to degrade hydrocarbons derived from drill cuttings. The hydrocarbon degrading-soil bacteria and fungi were isolated from different area in Yogyakarta, Indonesia after enrichment. The ability of bacteria.. View more»
