Microbial Communities in Model Seawater-Compensated Fuel Ballast Tanks: Biodegradation and Biocorrosion Stimulated by Marine Sediments

Corrosion and Materials Degradation
Some naval vessels add seawater to carbon steel fuel ballast tanks to maintain stability during fuel consumption. Marine sediments often contaminate ballast tank fluids and have been implicated in stimulating fuel biodegradation and enhancing ...

Hydrocarbon degradation potentials of bacteria isolated from spent lubricating oil contaminated soil

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2017
This study investigates the hydrocarbon degradation potentials of some bacteria isolated from spent lubrication oil on contaminated soil. Cleaning up petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated sites has been a major challenge. This has led to the exploration of

Biosurfactant‐assisted recovery and remediation of hydrocarbons from oily sludge using a mobile aerated washing system

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The oil industry generates oily sludge, the accumulation of which poses a serious environmental problem. Conventional methods require high costs, specialized equipment, and qualified personnel. This waste can be treated using biosurfactants.

APPLICATION OF RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY FOR OPTIMIZATION THE BIODEGRADATION PROCESS OF PETROLEUM-CONTAMINATED BEACH SAND USING BIO-OIL SPILL DISPERSANT (OSD) AND Bacillus subtilis CYA27

Jurnal Agrotek Tropika
Oil pollution in coastal ecosystems from recurrent oil spills poses a critical environmental challenge, particularly in regions such as the Malacca Strait and the northern coast of West Java. Crude oil is rich in persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that

Microbial community analysis of a coastal salt marsh affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

PLoS ONE, 2012
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

Biosurfactant Production From Waste Frying Oil: Process Optimization and Physicochemical Characterization of Surface Properties

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study focuses on the development of a cost‐effective bioprocess for biosurfactant production, encompassing process optimization and physicochemical characterization. Surface tension reduction and oil dispersion activity were evaluated, highlighting its strong potential for applications in food, pharmaceuticals, and bioremediation. In this

DataSheet1_Bacterial Communities and Culturable Petroleum Hydrocarbon Degrading Bacteria in Marine Sediments in the Northeastern South China Sea.doc

, 2022
Marine oil spill pollution was one of the factors affecting the marine ecology of the northeastern South China Sea (nSCS). The submarine oil produced after the oil spill had a long-term impact on the microbial community in the sediment.

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...
