Evaluation Of Biodegradation Ability Of Bacterial Consortium In Comparison With Combination Of It With Plant Species For Their Phytoremediation Potential

TL;DR: In this paper , crude oil contaminated soil samples were collected from oil extraction fields in Libya and two bacterial strains proved to be oil biodegrades were isolated and identified as Escherichia coli and other bacillus bacteria.

Dynamics of Functional Genes and Bacterial Community during Bioremediation of Diesel-Contaminated Soil Amended with Compost

TL;DR: In this article , the effects of compost amendment on the remediation performance, functional genes, and bacterial community are evaluated during the bioremediation of diesel-contaminated soils with various ratios of compost (0-20%, w/w).

Proteomics and Bioremediation Using Prokaryotes

TL;DR: Proteomics is an interdisciplinary area between biochemistry and informatics, which encompasses different analytical technologies to characterize (qualitatively and quantitatively) a set of total proteins in different samples, with mass spectrometry (MS) being the indispensable strategy for such studies that allow interpreting information encoded by genes, that is, the proteome as mentioned in this paper .

Microbial degradation of hydrocarbons in the environment.

TL;DR: Rates of biodegradation depend greatly on the composition, state, and concentration of the oil or hydrocarbons, with dispersion and emulsification enhancing rates in aquatic systems and absorption by soil particulates being the key feature of terrestrial ecosystems.

Biosurfactants production and possible uses in microbial enhanced oil recovery and oil pollution remediation: a review

TL;DR: Biosurfactants are widely used for various purposes in industry, but for many years were mainly chemically synthesized as mentioned in this paper, and there are conflicting reports regarding their efficacy and the economics of both their production and application, and caution is frequently exercised with respect to their use because of possible subsequent microbial contamination of either underground oil reservoirs or products.

Crude petroleum-oil biodegradation efficiency of Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from a petroleum-oil contaminated soil from North-East India

TL;DR: Results showed that B. subtilis DM-04 and P. aeruginosa M and NM strains could be effective for in situ bioremediation and expressive growth and biosurfactant production by exogenously seeded bacteria in crude petroleum-oil rich soil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and biodegradation potential of tropical aerobic hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms.

TL;DR: It was shown that the most active strains produced polar metabolites which accumulated in the resins and asphaltene fractions which are highly resistant to microbial metabolism.
