Effects of Different Surfactants to Petroleum Hydrocarbons Degradation of Mixed-bacteria
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.

A new Rhodococcus aetherivorans strain isolated from lubricant-contaminated soil as a prospective phenol biodegrading agent [PDF]
Microbe-based decontamination of phenol-polluted environments has significant advantages over physical and chemical approaches by being relatively cheaper and ensuring complete phenol degradation.

Understanding plant-microbe interactions for phytoremediation of petroleum-polluted soil.
Plant-microbe interactions are considered to be important processes determining the efficiency of phytoremediation of petroleum pollution, however relatively little is known about how these interactions are influenced by petroleum pollution.

Quantifying microbial utilization of petroleum hydrocarbons in salt-marsh sediments using the ^(13)C content of bacterial rRNA [PDF]
Natural remediation of oil spills is catalyzed by complex microbial consortia. Here we take a whole-community approach to investigate bacterial incorporation of petroleum hydrocarbons from a simulated oil spill.

Volatile hydrocarbons inhibit methanogenic crude oil degradation [PDF]
Methanogenic degradation of crude oil in subsurface sediments occurs slowly, but without the need for exogenous electron acceptors, is sustained for long periods and has enormous economic and environmental consequences.

Mangrove microniches determine the structural and functional diversity of enriched petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading consortia [PDF]
In this study, the combination of culture enrichments and molecular tools was used to identify bacterial guilds, plasmids and functional genes potentially important in the process of petroleum hydrocarbon (PH) decontamination in mangrove microniches ...

Microbial community analysis of a coastal salt marsh affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. [PDF]
Coastal salt marshes are highly sensitive wetland ecosystems that can sustain long-term impacts from anthropogenic events such as oil spills. In this study, we examined the microbial communities of a Gulf of Mexico coastal salt marsh during and after the

Kinetic parameters for nutrient enhanced crude oil biodegradation in intertidal marine sediments [PDF]
Availability of inorganic nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorous, is often a primary control on crude oil hydrocarbon degradation in marine systems. Many studies have empirically determined optimum levels of inorganic N and P for stimulation of

Exploiting hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria for reclamation of petroleum hydrocarbon polluted sites
Abstract Petroleum hydrocarbon pollution has emerged as one of the major problem worldwide. Indiscriminate activities of petrochemical industry and accidental spills have contaminated both land and water bodies. Cleaning of hydrocarbon contaminated site and refurbishing it to uncontaminated condition is a challenging task. Bioremediation
