Reduction of Surface Tension of Petroleum Using Hydrocarbon Degrading Bacterial Activity
ASM Science Journal, 2022 Hydrocarbon degrading bacteria produce biosurfactants, which facilitate the biodegradation process. This is the first step towards getting access to interactions between the bacteria's hydrophilic surface and the hydrophobic surface of the hydrocarbons ...

Metabolic diversity of aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria from a petroleum-contaminated aquifer [PDF]
Biodegradation, 1994 We characterized bacteria from contaminated aquifers for their ability to utilize aromatic hydrocarbons under hypoxic (oxygen-limiting) conditions (initial dissolved oxygen concentration about 2 mg/l) with nitrate as an alternate electron acceptor. This is relevant to current intense efforts to establish favorable conditions for in situ bioremediation.

Effects of Different Surfactants to Petroleum Hydrocarbons Degradation of Mixed-bacteria
, 2021 Abstract Surfactant-enhanced remediation (SER) had been widely applied to remove petroleum hydrocarbon (PH) pollutants, but the degradation mechanism that how to affect the hydrocarbon metabolite ability of microorganism under added surfactant is raring.

Microbial Communities across Global Marine Basins Show Important Compositional Similarities by Depth
mBio, 2020 The environmental surveys following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) spill identified a variety of hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms, and laboratory studies with field-collected water samples then demonstrated faster-than-expected hydrocarbon ...

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2022 Abstract Diesel oil is considered one of the important products of crude oil which constitute a vital source of pollution in the environment. Biodegradation of complex hydrocarbon requires cooperation of more than a single species. This is true in case of pollutants made up of crude oil or petroleum.

Screening of Bacteria Isolated from Refinery Sludge of Assam for Hydrocarbonoclastic Activities
Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2020 Oily sludge generated by petroleum industries results in serious hazards to the environment due to its toxic effects. Microorganisms can survive in the harsh environment utilizing the pollutants as their sole source of carbon and energy.

Are alkane hydroxylase genes (alkB) relevant to assess petroleum bioremediation processes in chronically polluted coastal sediments? [PDF]
, 2011 The diversity of alkB-related alkane hydroxylase sequences and the relationship between alkB gene expres- sion and the hydrocarbon contamination level have been investigated in the chronically polluted Etang-de-Berre sediments. For this purpose, these
