Microbial Ecology: Fundamentals and Applications
Ronald M. Atlas,Richard Bartha +1 more
TL;DR: Applied aspects of microbial ecology evident in biodeterioration control, sanitation, soil conservation, pollution control, resources recovery, resource recovery, and biological control are dealt with.

Oil Biodegradation and Bioremediation: A Tale of the Two Worst Spills in U.S. History
Ronald M. Atlas,Terry C. Hazen +1 more
TL;DR: These oil degrading indigenous microorganisms played a significant role in reducing the overall environmental impact of both the Exxon Valdez and BP Deepwater Horizon oil spills.

Effectiveness of bioremediation for the Exxon Valdez oil spill
TL;DR: A new interpretative technique used following the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska shows that fertilizer applications significantly increased rates of oil biodegradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery of DNA from soils and sediments.
TL;DR: Evaluated procedures for recovering DNA from soil and sediment bacterial communities found that the use of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone was important for the removal of humic compounds to improve the purity of the recovered DNA; without extensive purification, various restriction enzymes failed to cut added target DNA.
