Red clay was previously used to enhance bioremediation of diesel-contaminated soil. It was
speculated that the enhanced degradation of diesel was due to increased bacterial growth …

Red clay is a type of soil, the red color of which results from the presence of iron oxide. It is
considered an eco-friendly material, with many industrial, cosmetic, and architectural uses. A …

To bioaugment contaminated soil, the behavior of inoculated microorganisms in the soil
must first be understood. In this study, Pseudomonas sp. DTF1, a diesel-degrading …

Diesel is a complex pollutant composed of a mixture of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.
Because of this complexity, diesel bioremediation requires multiple microorganisms, which …

Soil amendment is a promising strategy to enhance biodegradation capacity of indigenous
bacteria. To assess the consequences of various soil amendments before large-scale …

Bioremediation of polluted soils is a promising technique with low environmental impact,
which uses soil organisms to degrade soil contaminants. In this study, 19 bacterial strains …

A wide range of microbial taxa are active in hydrocarbon-contaminated Arctic soils, and
many are capable of hydrocarbon metabolism. The most effective hydrocarbon degraders …

Background With the high demand for diesel across the world, environmental
decontamination from its improper usage, storage and accidental spills becomes necessary …

Environmental contamination by hydrocarbons is a major problem, and hydrocarbon
accumulation in soil poses hazardous threat to ecosystems. Phytoremediation, which …

Soil contamination as a result of oil spills is a serious issue due to the global demand for
diesel fuel. As an alternative to diesel, biodiesel has been introduced based on its high …
