The bioavailability of organic contaminants to the degrading bacteria is a major limitation to
efficient bioremediation of sites contaminated with hydrophobic pollutants. Such limitation of …

Oil extraction, refining, and transshipment are often located in coastal regions, putting
wetland systems at risk of exposure to spilled oil and oil products. The inaccessibility of …

Spills of non-petroleum hydrocarbons including vegetable oils and fish oils are of
environmental concern because of their potential to cause serious effects on marine life and …

Three biosurfactant-producing indigenous microorganisms (XDS1, XDS2, XDS3) were
isolated from a petroleum reservoir in the Daqing Oilfield (China) after polymer flooding …

The requirement of oil as a potential energy source are increasing linearly due to the
industrialization worldwide. Some of the countries' economy depends on the petroleum …

Surfactants are widely used for various purposes in industry, but for many years were mainly
chemically synthesized. It has only been in the past few decades that biological surface …

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 …

Effective emulsification of oil in seawater plays an important role in the marine oil spill
remediation process. The negative effects of chemical surfactants have necessitated a …

The oil spillage in the marine environment is a combined result of industrial effluent
discharge, waste soil burns, pipeline leakage, and drilling activities. Oil spillage is a mixture …
