A marine oil-degrading bacterial consortium DC10 was prepared to an oil-degrading agent and further applied to the bioremediation of crude oil-contaminated Dalian beach.Field studies were carried out at the intertidal zone and supratidal zone respectively,and the effects of the oil-degrading agent were investigated by evaluating the decline of C17/hopane,C18/hopane,total petroleum alkanes and total petroleum aromatics.The oil-degrading consortium DC10 exhibited much higher degradation rates than the single degrader comprising consortium DC10 under laboratory conditions.Compared to the sterile control,the degradation rates of consortium DC10 increased by 60% in 7 days,and most alkanes and aromatics in oil were disappeared.The oil-degrading agent supplemented with essential nutrient salts was proved to be effective in the field study on the bioremediation of oil-contaminated Dalian beach.At the intertidal zone plot,the C17/hopane and C18/hopane degradation rates of bioremediation treatment increased by approximately 40% and 30% in 12 d,respectively,compared to the natural weathering.While the total alkanes and total aromatics degradation rates of bioremediation treatment increased by approximately 80% and 72% in 12 d.In the case of supratidal zone plot,the C17/hopane and C18/hopane degradation rates of bioremediation treatment was only slightly higher than natural weathering in 85 d.While the total alkanes and total aromatics degradation rates of bioremediation treatment increased by approximately 30% and 20% in 85 d,respectively.
