What is the potential of pseudomonas aeruginosa in the degradation of hydrocarbons in crude oil?
See the Related Links for "AEM.ASM.org: journal article on pseudomonas aeruginosa in crude oil degradation" to the bottom for the answer.
Abstract of article from NIH.gov (see link to the left):
"The potential biodegradation of crude oil was assessed based on the development of a fermentative process with a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa which produced 15.4 g/L rhamnolipids when cultured in a basal mineral medium using glycerol as a sole carbon source. However, neither cell growth nor rhamnolipid production was observed in the comparative culture system using crude oil as the sole carbon source instead. As rhamnolipid, an effective biosurfactant, has been reported to stimulate the biodegradation of hydrocarbons, 1 g/L glycerol or 0.22 g/L rhamnolipid was initially added into the medium to facilitate the biodegradation of crude oil. In both situations, more than 58% of crude oil was degraded and further converted into accumulated cell biomass and rhamnolipids. These results suggest that Pseudomonas aeruginosa could degrade most of crude oil with direct or indirect addition of rhamnolipid. And this conclusion was further supported by another adsorption experiment, where the adsorption capacity of crude oil by killed cell biomass was negligible in comparison with the biologic activities of live cell biomass."

What refrigerants poses the least impact to the environment A Trichlorofluoromethanes C Hydrocarbons B Chlorodifluoromethanes D Difluoroethane?
Hydrocarbons, such as propane and isobutane, are considered to have the least impact on the environment as refrigerants. They have low Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP), making them more environmentally friendly options compared to other refrigerants like Trichlorofluoromethanes (CFCs) and Chlorodifluoromethanes (HCFCs).
Why do hydrocarbons contain so much energy?
Hydrocarbons contain a high amount of potential energy in their chemical bonds because they are made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms, which have strong bonds that store a lot of potential energy. When these bonds are broken through burning or other reactions, the stored energy is released in the form of heat and light. This makes hydrocarbons a valuable source of energy for human activities.

Is hydrocarbon poisonous?
Depends on the hydrocarbon : Hydrocarbon gases are asphixiants and can be narcotic. N-alkanes (straight chain hydrocarbons) up to about 10carbon atoms long have some toxicity, above that not so. Aromatic hydrocarbons vary greatly in toxicity depending on size and side chain placement. There is no "one size fits all" answer to this question.
How do you get rid of pseudomonas?
Pseudomonas species are very common in the environment P.aeruginosa is found living on the skin of healthy people, it is common on plant surfaces and can be isolated from most man-made surfaces. It's association with plants led to flowers being prohibited in many burns wards in the UK. It is an opportunistic pathogen meaning you are most likely to suffer from Pseudomonas infections if there is already something wrong with you.

Acetic acid in wound care?
The antibacterial effect of acetic acid against multiple antibiotic resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from nosocomial wound infection would be one reason for its use in a wound.
What are the indicator organisms for fecal pollution in the US?
In the US, common indicator organisms for fecal pollution include fecal coliforms (Escherichia coli) and enterococci. These organisms are used to assess the overall quality of water sources, as their presence indicates potential fecal contamination and the possible presence of harmful pathogens. Monitoring their levels helps to determine the safety of recreational waters for activities like swimming and drinking.
Fuel oil has potential energy because of what?
Fuel oil has potential energy due to its chemical composition, which is rich in hydrocarbons that can be oxidized to release heat energy. When fuel oil is burnt in a combustion process, the chemical bonds holding the hydrocarbons together are broken, resulting in the release of heat that can be harnessed for various purposes, such as heating or powering engines.

What is any real or potential condition that can cause injury illness or death to personnel - damage to or loss of equipment or property - degradation of mission capability - or impact on a mission?
This is one definition of a hazard.It is "any real or potential condition that can cause injury, illness, or death to personnel; damage to or loss of equipment or property; degradation of mission capability or impact to mission accomplishment; or damage to the environment."
What are the potential drawbacks of using a scanner for negatives?
Potential drawbacks of using a scanner for negatives include the risk of image quality degradation, the need for specialized equipment and software, and the time-consuming process of scanning each negative individually.
