Plastic and hydrocarbon pollution in aquatic ecosystems is a worldwide reality and serious
concern today. Plastic debris presents a threat to ecosystems and organisms. Hydrocarbons …

Biosurfactants are widely used as a potential alternative for chemical-based surfactants for
the bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated sites. These biosurfactants support …

In this study a microbial consortium, dominated by members of the genera Marinobacter and
Alcanivorax (Gammaproteobacteria) isolated from marine sediments of Southern Gulf of …

Sinkholes, also called cenotes, are a common feature in the karst aquifers found along the
state Quintana Roo in México. Certain aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons have been …

Oil spills are the most common source of environmental damage in areas with oil extraction
activities. Bioaugmentation is a bioremediation technology that involves increasing …

This study presents the results of evaluating hydrocarbonoclastic consortia in the
biodegradation of microplastics derived from single-use, triple-layered polypropylene face …

Hydrocarbon uptake by microorganisms in a multiphase bioreactor can be carried out by two
mechanisms: direct interfacial contact of microorganisms with hydrocarbon drops or …

Our work shows that in multiphase systems, it is more important to take into account the
mass transfer of oil rather than that of just oxygen. The oxygen volumetric transfer coefficient …

Coral reefs and watersheds are important ecosystems. Reefs provide many services to
coastal communities, including services such as recreation and commercial fisheries …

Nowadays, the bioremediation of water bodies is necessary. Several microorganisms have
been reported as pollutant degraders, this capacity is due to their ability to adapt to hostile …
