Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental applications of biosurfactants: Recent advances
TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of advances in the applications of biosurfactants and biosurFactant-producing microorganisms in hydrocarbon and metal remediation technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioaugmentation as a strategy for cleaning up of soils contaminated with aromatic compounds
TL;DR: Several strategies are being developed to make augmentation a successful technology particularly in soils without degrading indigenous microorganisms, which involve the use of genetically engineered microorganisms and gene bioaugmentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotics in the Soil Environment-Degradation and Their Impact on Microbial Activity and Diversity.
TL;DR: The results presented in this review show that antibiotics affect soil microorganisms by changing their enzyme activity and ability to metabolize different carbon sources, as well as by altering the overall microbial biomass and the relative abundance of different groups in microbial communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioaugmentation as a strategy for the remediation of pesticide-polluted soil: A review.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the microbial degradation of the most common pesticides that have been used for many years such as organochlorinated and organophosphorus pesticides, triazines, pyrethroids, carbamate, chloroacetamide, benzimidazole and derivatives of phenoxyacetic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of the organophosphorus insecticide diazinon by Serratia sp. and Pseudomonas sp. and their use in bioremediation of contaminated soil
TL;DR: The results suggested a strong correlation between microbial activity and chemical processes during diazinon degradation, and isolated bacterial strains may have potential for use in bioremediation of diazInon-contaminated soils.
