BACKGROUND Petroleum hydrocarbon pollution has become a global concern, and
seeking an appropriate strategy for treatment of petroleum hydrocarbons is necessary …

Petroleum hydrocarbon compounds are persistent organic pollutants, which can cause
permanent damage to ecosystems due to their biomagnification. Bioremediation of oil is …

An oxygen-constrained system of crude oil reservoir environment was constructed to
stimulate the growth of indigenous microbes, such as petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading …

Releases of crude oil and other types of oil from numerous sources can impose catastrophic
physical, chemical, and biological effects on aquatic ecosystems. While currently-used oil …

Hydrocarbonoclastic bacterial consortium that utilizes crude oil as carbon and energy
source was isolated from marine sediment collected at a depth of 2100 m. Molecular …

Fossil fuels such as petroleum resources continue to be a significant fraction of the energy
portfolio. Oil sludge or slops have become an unavoidable waste in the petroleum …

This study was performed to evaluate the efficiency of using locally isolated bacteria to
degrade crude oil in sea water-based medium. The bacteria were isolated from water …

It is anticipated that over 2 trillion barrels of conventional oil will remain in reservoirs
worldwide after conventional recovery methods have been exhausted. Other oil recovery …

Aims This study aimed to develop an efficient, cost‐effective and eco‐friendly bacterial
consortium to degrade petroleum sludge. Methods and Results Four bacterial strains …

Petroleum hydrocarbon removal from tank bottom oil sludge is a major issue due to its
properties. Conventional physicochemical treatment techniques are less effective. Though …
