Members of the genus Rhodococcus are specialist in the accumulation of triacylglycerols
(TAG). Some of them can be considered oleaginous microorganisms since they are able to …

Produced water (PW) is the largest waste stream generated by oil and gas industry. It is
commonly treated by physical-chemical processes due to high salt content and poor …

In the present study, we present the biodegradation of trichloroethylene (TCE) for the first
time using pure bacterial strain of Rhodococcus opacus PD630. TCE utilized as the sole …

Produced water (PW) and spent oil-based wastewaters are some of the largest mineral oil
wastewaters produced. Due to the high toxicity of hydrocarbons, several countries set …

Mineral-oily wastewaters result from industrial development and petroleum dependency.
These wastewaters represent a serious environmental hazard due to their substantial …

Production of bacterial lipid-based biofuels using inexpensive substrates, as wastes, is an
emerging approach. In this work, a selective process using carbon feast-famine cycles was …

Extracellular lipids were mainly considered as microbial metabolites and
precursors/inhibitors of methane production in anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) …

This work demonstrates that cork used as oil-spill sorbents, contaminated with liquid
hydrocarbons, herein demonstrated with hexadecane, can be biologically treated by …

Microbial lipids are a promising feedstock to produce renewable fuels. Lignocellulosic
feedstocks can provide multiple carbon sources for microbial growth, such as hexoses (C6) …

A indústria petrolífera é responsável pela produção de grandes volumes de águas residuais
contaminadas com hidrocarbonetos. De forma a minimizar os impactos negativos no …
