Microbial Degradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contaminants: An Overview
Nilanjana Das,Preethy Chandran +1 more
TL;DR: An updated overview of petroleum hydrocarbon degradation by microorganisms under different ecosystems is presented and it is shown that many indigenous microorganisms in water and soil are capable of degrading hydrocarbon contaminants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is bioaugmentation a feasible strategy for pollutant removal and site remediation
TL;DR: In this article, the capacity of a microbial population to degrade pollutants within an environmental matrix (e.g. soil, sediment, sludge or wastewater) can be enhanced either by stimulation of the indigenous microorganisms by addition of nutrients or electron acceptors (biostimulation) or by the introduction of specific microorganisms to the local population (bioaugmentation).

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.

Bioremediation technologies for treatment of PAH-contaminated soil and strategies to enhance process efficiency
S. Venkata Mohan,S. Venkata Mohan,Takuro Kisa,Takeru Ohkuma,Robert A. Kanaly,Yoshihisa Shimizu +5 more
TL;DR: A focused review of bioremediation technologies used recently for the treatment of PAH-contaminated soils, including bioaugmentation, biostimulation, rhizormediation, the use of chemotaxins, the biomimetic catalytic system approach, and integrated techniques are reviewed.

Microbial degradation of hydrocarbons in the environment.
J G Leahy,Rita R. Colwell +1 more
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.
