Frequent oil spills in Brazilian's clay-bearing soils are stimulating researches in the
bioremediation area. However, there is a great difficulty of cleanning up those contaminated …

This study analyzed the microbial diversity colonizing the surface of an oil sample during its
contact with water, off the Trindade Island coast and simulated the efficiency of eight different …

Oily wastewater is a large waste stream produced by a number of industries. This
wastewater often forms stable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion. These emulsions require …

The oil and petrochemical industry in the course of the exploration, production, refining and
transportation operations required for the commercialization of oil and its derivatives have …

Oil biodegradation is a natural but slow process, limited mainly by the scarcity of nitrogen
and phosphorus. To enhance hydrocarbon breakdown by indigenous microbial …

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 …

Bioremediation is emerging as the best strategy for combating oil spills following first
response actions. Stimulation of indigenous degraders with suitable nutrients and …

Microcosms experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of bioemulsificant
exopolysaccharide (EPS2003) on microbial community dynamics. An experimental …

Hydrocarbon-utilizing microorganisms naturally biodegrade numerous contaminating
petroleum hydrocarbons, thereby cleansing the oceans of oil pollutants. Bioremediation …

Oil spills are treated as a widespread problem that poses a great threat to any ecosystem.
Following first response actions, bioremediation has emerged as the best strategy for …
