Using pre-screening methods for an effective and reliable site characterization at megasites [PDF]

, 2015
This paper illustrates the usefulness of pre-screening methods for an effective characterization of polluted sites. We applied a sequence of site characterization methods to a former Soviet military airbase with likely fuel and benzene, toluene ...

Production and Formulation of Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2 Cell Powders for Marine Oil Spill Bioremediation

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 123-137, February 2026.
Abstract Oil spills pose severe threats to marine ecosystems and coastal communities. Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2, a marine bacterium with superior hydrocarbon‐degrading capabilities, emerges as a promising agent for bioremediation. This study identified an economical growth substrate for A.

Advanced treatment of wastewater with BTEX

Desalination and Water Treatment, 2012
Abstract Standards for concentrations of pollutants in wastewaters discharged to the environment are especially restrictive for BTEX, the compounds which are recognized to be particularly toxic. There is a need to lower the BTEX concentration in the stream coming out of the bioreactor. For this purpose, a high-pressure membrane process was proposed.

Pan‐Genomic and Phenotypic Characterisation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Degradation by Pseudomonas Species

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Pseudomonas is one of the most significant bacterial genus involved in the petroleum hydrocarbon bioremediation. Innovatively, through pan‐genomic analysis at the genus level, we found that different Pseudomonas strains have excellent complementarity at the nodes of the degradation pathway of petroleum hydrocarbons.

Evaluation of the pollution pressures posed by groups of chemicals on British riverine invertebrate populations

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 106-127, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Globally, rivers receive a diverse range of chemicals, including metals, pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, petrochemicals, human and veterinary pharmaceuticals and personal care products. However, the extent to which these different chemical groups affect riverine invertebrate communities is not well defined.

Assessment of the impact of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) on soil microbial population in selected areas of Port Harcourt City, Nigeria

Scientific African
Human activities are on the rise in these areas and consequently, the discharge of BTEX to the environment is on the rise. Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX), are known to cause cancer and mutagenesis.
