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 …

Petroleum is the most widely used energy source in the world. Since a significant amount of
crude oil is trapped in reservoirs after conventional primary and secondary recovery …

A mixed bacterial culture, isolated from a petroleum-contaminated site, was evaluated for its
de-emulsification capabilities using a kerosene–water model emulsion system and …

Bioaugmentation (amendment with selected bacterial strains) and/or biostimulation
(nutrients addition and/or air supply) are relatively new fields in environmental microbiology …

In situ biodegradation, the activation of microbial processes capable of destroying
contaminants where they are found in the environment, is a biological process that responds …

Biological surface-active compounds (biosurfactants) are commonly used in many industries
(cosmetics, food, agriculture, oil, petrochemicals, etc.). The ability of biosurfactants to reduce …

In situ biosurfactant (rhamnolipid) production by Pseudomonas putida CB-100 was achieved
during a bioaugmented and biostimulated treatment to remove hydrocarbons from aged …

The application of bioremediation to marine oil spills is limited due to dilution of either
nutrients or hydrocarbonoclastic organisms. This study investigated the effectiveness of …

A novel carrier material was obtained by coating puffed rhubarb rice (PRR) with calcium
alginate (CA) membrane. The carrier material was prepared to contain oil-degrading …

Biodegradation of oil by marine bacteria is a significant pathway to oil spill remediation.
Marine hydrocarbon degrading bacteria are known to form biofilms consisting of exopolymer …
