Bioaugmentation as a soil bioremediation approach

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1996
The debate over the efficacy of bioaugmentation rages on, with research continuing to demonstrate that its advantages for soil bioremediation are difficult to predict; however, when it works, the results are often very encouraging. The difficulties arise from, among others, the diversity of the microorganisms used, environmental heterogeneity, and ...

Bioaugmentation for MTBE Remediation

2012
Bioaugmentation to treat methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in groundwater was considered a promising technique for several years, with several researchers involved in developing and testing MTBE-degrading bacteria. Although the effort yielded important insights into the biodegradation of MTBE and its daughter product tert-butyl alcohol (TBA ...

Survival and activity of individual bioaugmentation strains

Bioresource Technology, 2015
Successful application of bioaugmentation for enhanced degradation of environmental pollutants is often limited by the lack of methods to monitor the survival and activity of individual bioaugmentation strains. However, recent advancements in sequencing technologies and molecular techniques now allow us to address these limitations.

Economics and Valuation Of Bioaugmentation

2012
This chapter reviews the costs and benefits of bioaugmentation for treating chlorinated ethenes in groundwater. Detailed cost estimates are provided for a range of template site scenarios to provide practitioners a first estimate of the expected overall costs and the specific cost items involved.

Research Needs for Bioaugmentation

2012
Bioaugmentation represents a remarkable success story of applied research, and future research should lead to more successful applications. This chapter provides an introduction to the future potential of bioaugmentation (and bioremediation in general), and seeks to identify the research needs that, if addressed, will help realize this potential. First,

Bioaugmentation Strategies for Remediating Mixed Chemical Effluents

Biotechnology Progress, 2008
Operationally exhausted metal working fluids are chemically mixed, produced in large quantities (400 000 tonnes year in the U.K.), and potentially environmentally toxic. It is essential to develop more reliable and economical approaches for their disposal. We investigated the effectiveness of a defined bacterial consortium, constructed specifically for

Chloroform aerobic cometabolism by butane-utilizing bacteria in bioaugmented and non-bioaugmented soil/groundwater microcosms

Process Biochemistry, 2007
Abstract The aerobic cometabolic chloroform (CF) degradation by butane-growing biomasses was investigated in slurry microcosms. The lag-time for the onset of butane utilization by the indigenous biomass of the studied sandy soil was less than 2 weeks in all the experimental conditions tested. The shortest lags were obtained in the absence of CF.
