Petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) are one of the most widespread and heterogeneous
organic contaminants affecting marine ecosystems. The contamination of marine sediments …

Widespread pollution of terrestrial ecosystems with petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) has
generated a need for remediation and, given that many PHCs are biodegradable, bio-and …

Bioremediation of hydrocarbon pollutants is advantageous owing to the cost-effectiveness of
the technology and the ubiquity of hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms in the soil. Soil …

As the demand for liquid petroleum increases, the need for reliable and efficient oil spill
clean-up techniques is inevitable. Bioremediation is considered one of the most sustainable …

Given the immense risk posed by widespread environmental pollution by inorganic and
organic chemicals, novel methods of decontamination and clean-up are required. Owing to …

Root organic exudates of four wetland plants were studied in wetland microcosms to test
their effects on the density and diversity of the rhizosphere microbes, and on the nutrient …

Biosurfactants are surface-active compounds synthesized by a wide variety of micro-
organisms. They are molecules that have both hydrophobic and-philic domains and are …

A Bacillus strain producing a bacteriocin-like substance was characterized by biochemical
profiling and 16S rDNA sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the strain has high …

In this study, a biosurfactant-producing strain Y2 was isolated from hydraulic fracturing
flowback and produced water (HF-FPW) and identified as Acinetobacter sp. The …

The environmental pollution caused by crude oil spillage has been recently turned into a
critical challenge that requires a comprehensive plan to effectively reduce the contaminants …
