Behavior of deteriogenic fungi in aviation fuels (fossil and biofuel) during simulated storage. Braz J Microbiol 2023; 54:1603-1621. [PMID: 37584891 PMCID: PMC10484884 DOI: 10.1007/s42770-023-01055-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Biofuels are expected to play a major role in reducing carbon emissions in the aviation sector globally. Farnesane ("2,6,10-trimethyldodecane") is a biofuel derived from the synthesized iso-paraffin route wich can be blended with jet fuel; however, the microbial behavior in farnesane/jet fuel blends remains unknown. The chemical and biological stability of blends should be investigated to ensure they meet the quality requirements for aviation fuels. This work aimed at evaluating the behavior of two fungi Hormoconis resinae (F089) and Exophiala phaeomuriformis (UFRGS Q4.2) in jet fuel, farnesane, and in 10% farnesane blend during simulated storage. Microcosms (150-mL flasks) were assembled with and without fungi containing Bushnell & Haas mineral medium for 28 days at a temperature of 20±2°C. The fungal growth (biomass), pH, surface tension, and changes in the fuel's hydrocarbon chains were evaluated. This study revealed thatthe treatment containing H. resinae showed a biomass of 19 mg, 12 mg, and 2 mg for jet fuel, blend, and farnesane respectively. The pH was reduced from 7.2 to 4.3 observed in jet fuel treatment The degradation results showed that compounds with carbon chains between C9 and C11, in jet fuel, and blend treatments were preferably degraded. The highest biomass (70.9 mg) produced by E. phaeomuriformis was in 10% farnesane blend, after 21 days. However, no significant decrease was observed on pH and surface tension measurements across the treatments as well as on the hydrocarbons when compared to the controls. This study revealed that farnesane neither inhibited nor promoted greater growth on both microorganisms.

Abstract
There are two main themes in the research on the biodegradation of industrial materials by mycelial fungi. The challenge of reducing environmental pollution necessitates the creation of biodegradable polymers that allow microorganisms, including mycelial fungi, to degrade them to low-molecule soluble substances. Additionally, to minimize the biodegradation of industrial materials while they are operating in the environment, there is a need to produce fungi-resistant polymer compositions. The fungal resistance of industrial materials and products can be assessed using a specific set of mycelial fungi cultures. Test cultures selected for this purpose are supported in the All-Russian Collection of Microorganisms (VKM). This review addresses the principle of culture selection to assess the fungal resistance of industrial materials and evaluates the results of the tests using these cultures.

The Influence of Kerosene on Microbiomes of Diverse Soils. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:221. [PMID: 35207510 PMCID: PMC8878009 DOI: 10.3390/life12020221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Revised: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 01/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
One of the most important challenges for soil science is to determine the limits for the sustainable functioning of contaminated ecosystems. The response of soil microbiomes to kerosene pollution is still poorly understood. Here, we model the impact of kerosene leakage on the composition of the topsoil microbiome in pot and field experiments with different loads of added kerosene (loads up to 100 g/kg; retention time up to 360 days). At four time points we measured kerosene concentration and sequenced variable regions of 16S ribosomal RNA in the microbial communities. Mainly alkaline Dystric Arenosols with low content of available phosphorus and soil organic matter had an increased fraction of Actinobacteriota, Firmicutes, Nitrospirota, Planctomycetota, and, to a lesser extent, Acidobacteriota and Verrucomicobacteriota. In contrast, in highly acidic Fibric Histosols, rich in soil organic matter and available phosphorus, the fraction of Acidobacteriota was higher, while the fraction of Actinobacteriota was lower. Albic Luvisols occupied an intermediate position in terms of both physicochemical properties and microbiome composition. The microbiomes of different soils show similar response to equal kerosene loads. In highly contaminated soils, the proportion of anaerobic bacteria-metabolizing hydrocarbons increased, whereas the proportion of aerobic bacteria decreased. During the field experiment, the soil microbiome recovered much faster than in the pot experiments, possibly due to migration of microorganisms from the polluted area. The microbial community of Fibric Histosols recovered in 6 months after kerosene had been loaded, while microbiomes of Dystric Arenosols and Albic Luvisols did not restore even after a year.
