Description
Summary:Removal of contaminants from polluted environments could be improved by taking advantage of the catabolic capacity of some microorganisms ina process called bioremediation. Nowadays the use of microbial associations (also called microial consortia) is gaining attention, because they seem to have a wider degradation spectrum tan that exhibited by isolates strains. M10 is a bacterial consortium obtained from hydrocarbon-contaminated Antarctic soils whose components belong to the Pseudomonas and Sphingobacterium genera. In this short communication, transmision electron microscope (TEM) images are shown, evidencing the morphological diversity of these complex microbial association. Fil: Ruberto, Lucas Adolfo Mauro.
