Abstrakt: Petroleum hydrocarbon contamination is a serious hazard to marine environments, affecting ecosystems and marine life. However, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of marine bacteria constituting various hydrophilic and hydrophobic functional groups sequester petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs). In this study, interaction of EPS of Pseudomonas furukawaii PPS-19 with PHs such as crude oil, n-dodecane, and pyrene and its impact on PHs adsorption was investigated. Protein component of EPS was increased after treatment with PHs. Red shift of UV-Vis spectra implied change in molecular structure of EPS. Functional groups of proteins (CO, NH 2 ) and polysaccharides (C-C, C-OH, C-O-C) predominantly interacted with PHs. Interaction with PHs affected secondary structure of EPS. Change in binding energies of corresponding functionalities of C 1s, O 1s, and N 1s confirmed the interaction. Disruption of crystalline peaks led to increased pore size in EPS primarily due to the increase in surface electronegativity. Static quenching mechanism unveils formation of complex between fulvic acid of EPS and PHs. Relative expression of alg8 gene was significantly increased in the presence of n-dodecane (6.31 fold) (P < 0.05; One way ANOVA). n-dodecane and pyrene adsorption capacity of Immobilized EPS was significantly higher (356.5 and 338.2 mg g -1 , respectively) (P < 0.001; One way ANOVA) than control. Adsorption rate fits into the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. This study establishes that interaction of PHs causes structural and physical changes in EPS and EPS could be used as an adsorbent material for the sequestration of PHs pollution.
