Plugging membrane filters with oil (mostly n-alkanes) constitutes one of the main barriers to
treating PW for its integration into industrial and agricultural uses. A previous study shows …

The effect of initial pH on the bioremediation of crude oil polluted water using a consortium
of microbes was investigated in this study. Six samples each with initial pH values of 3, 5, 6 …

High salt and low temperature are the bottlenecks for the remove of oil contaminants by
enriched crude-oil degrading microbiota in Liaohe Estuarine Wetland (LEW), China. To …

Oilfield produced water (OPW) with crude oil is a huge threat to the natural environment. For
the treatment of OPW, degradation of crude oil in OPW by microorganisms and OPW …

With increasing demands of fossil fuel energy, extensive exploration of natural sources has
caused a number of large scale accidental spills of crude oil and resulted in some …

In this study we isolated and characterized native microorganisms with the ability to degrade
oil and grease (O&G) and evaluated their potential for the treatment of POMEs from a palm …

Petroleum hydrocarbons are relatively recalcitrant compounds, and as contaminants, they
are one of the most serious environmental problems. n-Alkanes are important constituents of …

The rise in petroleum demand may have aggravated recently as every industry heavily
depends on petroleum as the primary energy source. Traditional oil recovery methods leave …

The aim of this study was to isolate hydrocarbons-degrading bacteria for treatment of oily
wastewater from long-standing petroleum-polluted sediments in Bohai Bay, China. Six …

Bioremediation is an attractive strategy of utilizing bacteria to remove crude oil
contaminants. In this study, two salt-tolerant crude oil-degrading and biosurfactant …
