Alexieva). The examined strain of Aspergillus fumigatus AL8 was isolated from soil probes taken in the region of Antarctica. This study showed the different efficiency of the investigated strain with respect to the degradation of phenol derivatives, as catechol (hydroxylated phenol) and o-cresol (methylated phenol). The strain was able to utilize both examined compounds. The complete utilization of cat- echol as a sole carbon source was performed for about 24 h while the o-cresol was degraded and utilized much slower (48 h). The strain was cultivated in a medium containing 0.3 g/l catechol or 0.3 g/l o-cresol as single carbon substrates. The intracellular activ- ities of the both key enzymes, phenol hydroxylase and catechol 1,2-dioxygenase in cells of A. fumigatus AL8 were determined. The catechol 1,2-dioxygenase showed the highest enzyme activ- ity (0.332 U/mg protein) during the logarithmic growth phase in a medium with catechol included. The activity of this enzyme in cells, cultivated with o-cresol was much lower - 0.053 U/mg pro- tein. The enzyme phenol hydroxylase kept relatively low level of activity in both studied degradation processes. These results are directly linked to the different inhibitory effect exerted by differ- ent substitution groups in the structure of the utilized compounds on the strain’s cells. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiotec.2014.07.205 The influence of plant colonization by bacterial strains isolated from plants with oil contaminated soil on plant growth Anel Omirbekova 1,∗ , Togzhan Mukasheva 1 , Ramza Berzhanova 1 , Gauhar Demeubaeva 2 , Sandugash Ibragimova 2 1 Al-Farabi Kazakh National University Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan 2 Scientific Research Institute of Ecological Problems, Kazakhstan E-mail address: [email protected] (A.

Phytoremediation of con- taminated soils involves the use of plants and their associated microorganisms. Inoculation of plants with high bacteria having the degradation abilities is one of the possible ways to improve the effectiveness of bioremediation. The aim of work was to eval- uate the growth characteristics of plants after inoculation with bacterial strains – destructors of oil hydrocarbon. For inoculation, the hydrocarbon degrading microorganisms isolated from rhizo- sphere and rhizoplane of plants were used. Gnotobiotic systems included sterile sand, plants, oil and bacterial strains of Pseu- domonas, Rhodococcus genera. One of the evaluated parameters was the toxic effects of oil on plants, as well as the protective effect on plants of each of the microorganisms. It has been found that the oil has a significant phytotoxic effect which was expressed in sup- pressing the growth of shoots and roots. The measurement of the length of shoots and roots showed that the introduction of microor- ganisms increases the growth in two times than in the control samples without inoculation of plants with bacterial strains. The best protective effect was observed in model system containing microorganism strain of Rhodococcus genera. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiotec.2014.07.206 Creation of consortium based on cyanobacteria for agrobiotechnological use Gul Baimakhanova 1,∗ , Bolathan Zayadan 1 , Gulnar Oraz 1 , Amankeldy Sadanov 2 , Kenzhegul Bolathan 1 1 Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Kazakhstan 2 Institute of Microbiology and Virology, Almaty, Kazakhstan E-mail address: [email protected] (G.

Prospects of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria application in agriculture is related to their par- ticipation in the nitrogen cycle which significantly affects the productivity of higher plants. The aim of work is creating of consortium based on cyanobacteria, microalgae and azotobacter. For consortium creation, Anabaena variabilis and Nostoc salsicola cyanobacteria isolated from Kazakhstan rice fields were selected. The optimal culture conditions of cyanobacteria were selected. To enhance the process of nitrogen fixation in the consortium, Azo- tobacter sp. strain was added. Chlorella vulgaris was added during cultivation of consortium to neutralize pH of the medium. The effect of consortium on seed germination and seedling growth of rice was tested. Results of experiments showed that treatment of rice seeds by suspension of A. variabilis, Chlorella vulgaris, Azoto- bacter sp. consortium has little stimulating effect on germination, stem length and plant development. On the basis of isolated rice paddies cyanobacteria two microbial consortium ZOB-1 (A. vari- abilis – Chlorella vulgaris – Azotobacter sp.) and ZBOB-2 (N. calsicola – Chlorella vulgaris – Azotobacter sp.) were created. That may be proposed for rice crops agricultural use in biotechnology for improvement of the germination of plants and soil enrichment by nitrogen. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiotec.2014.07.207 Removal of ethidium bromide from aqueous solution by using Photomogetom crispus Mahir Demir ∗ , Osman Gulnaz Department of Biotechnology, Institute of Natural Applied Sciences University of Cukurova, 01330 Adana, Turkey E-mail address: [email protected] (M.

In this study removal of fluorescent dye ethidium bromide by dried Photomogetom crispus was investigated in batch systems. Effect of pH and initial dye concentrations on adsorp- tion were determined. The suitable pH was determined as 3.0 and 20 ◦ C. The theoretical max biosorption capacity of Photomogetom crispus was 0.21 mM g −1 at 20 ◦ C for 0.06 mm particle size. The equilibrium data fitted very well to both Langmuir isotherm mod- els. The pseudo-first and second-order kinetic models were used to describe the kinetic data. The experimental data fitted to second- order kinetic model. Increasing of the initial dye concentrations increased the adsorption of ethidium bromide. FT-IR results shows
