TL;DR: Bioaugmentation of resting-cells previously grown in a fermenter and in-well addition of oxygen and growth substrate appear to be the most promising approaches for aquifer bioremediation.

TL;DR: It is evident that in situ bioremediation is a highly promising and cost-effective technology for remediation of contaminated soil, groundwater and sediments, but there is a need for a further development and application of advanced biomolecular tools for site investigation, as well as of advanced metabolic and kinetic modelling tools.

TL;DR: The activity of dehalogenating microbes may contribute, if properly stimulated, to the in situ bioremediation of marine and estuarine contaminated sediments.

TL;DR: Two microbial consortia were enriched from ENZYVEBA on Diesel (G1 and ENZ-G2) and characterized in terms of microbial composition and hydrocarbon biodegradation capability and specificity and appear very interesting candidates for bioaugmentation operations on Diesel fuel impacted soils and sites.

TL;DR: Findings confirm previous evidence on the correlation between polymers biodegradation rate and their hydrophilic and amorphous degree and indicate that dramatic increases in polyesters biodegradability can be obtained by introducing ether-oxygen atoms into the polymer chain and that biodesgradability of oxygen etheroatom-containing copolyesters might be tuned within a wide range of rates through the modification of their molecular architecture.
