The role of cell bioaugmentation and gene bioaugmentation in the remediation of co-contaminated soils. [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2002
Soils co-contaminated with metals and organics present special problems for remediation. Metal contamination can delay or inhibit microbial degradation of organic pollutants such that for effective in situ biodegradation, bioaugmentation is necessary. We monitored the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) or 3-chlorobenzoate (3-CB) in ...

Comparative effectiveness and acid stress regulation of bioaugmentation versus biostimulation in remediating uranium mine groundwater

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Biostimulation and bioaugmentation are promising for remediating acid in-situ leaching (AISL) U mine groundwater, yet their efficiencies, mechanisms, and acid stress regulation remain unclear.

Application of Synthetic Microbiome to Bioaugmentation of Pesticide Pollution [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The issue of soil contamination from chemical pesticides is a pressing concern in today’s world. The excessive use of these chemicals can lead to their accumulation in soil over time, posing risks to both the environment and human health.

Bioaugmentation with immobilized endophytic Penicillium restrictum to improve quorum quenching activity for biofouling control in an aerobic hollow-fiber membrane bioreactor treating antibiotic-containing wastewater

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
The effects of bioaugmentation with immobilized Penicillium restrictum on the removal efficiency of sulfamethoxazole (SMX), erythromycin (ERY) and tetracycline (TC) antibiotics as well as membrane biofouling was studied using hollow-fiber membrane ...

Plasmid-Mediated Bioaugmentation for the Bioremediation of Contaminated Soils

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Bioaugmentation, or the inoculation of microorganisms (e.g., bacteria harboring the required catabolic genes) into soil to enhance the rate of contaminant degradation, has great potential for the bioremediation of soils contaminated with organic ...

Current Knowledge on Phytoremediation Potential of Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for PFAS and Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This review synthesizes current research on the phytoremediation potential of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for heavy metals, including arsenic, aluminium, mercury, copper, lead, cadmium, nickel, and zinc, as well as per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” A structured and transparent ...

Hydrocarbon Removal by Two Differently Developed Microbial Inoculants and Comparing Their Actions with Biostimulation Treatment

Molecules, 2020
Bioremediation of soils polluted with petroleum compounds is a widely accepted environmental technology. We compared the effects of biostimulation and bioaugmentation of soil historically contaminated with aliphatic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ...
