Petroleum is the most common global fossil fuel. It is a complex multi-component system
mainly composed of various hydrocarbons such as alkanes, cycloalkanes, mono-, bi-and …

Heavy metals (HMs) pollute the environment on a global scale and have different harmful
effect on ecosystem. Outstripping accumulation of diverse toxic HMs in soils has altered the …

Soil is a dynamic life-supporting component of this Planet Earth but its contamination with
toxic heavy metals (HMs) is omnipresent throughout the planet. Abundances of these HMs in …

Crude oil contamination of soil and water resources is a widespread issue. The present
study evaluated the degradation of aliphatic hydrocarbons (C11–C36) in crude oil by 17 …

Crude oil (petroleum) is a naturally occurring complex composed of hydrocarbon deposits
and other organic materials. Bioremediation of crude oil-polluted sites is restricted by the …

The biodegradation of crude oil is a consequence of the presence of a specific enzymatic
system in the microorganisms selected: the alkane hydroxylase (AlkH). The enzymatic …

To investigate the occurrence and partition of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs),
sediment, seawater, and biota of the eastern sea area of Shandong Peninsula (China) were …
