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
Recent Advances in Petroleum Microbiology
TL;DR: The physiological responses of microorganisms to the presence of hydrocarbons, including cell surface alterations and adaptive mechanisms for uptake and efflux of these substrates, have been characterized and used to investigate the dynamics of microbial communities in petroleum-impacted ecosystems.

Comparative bioremediation of soils contaminated with diesel oil by natural attenuation, biostimulation and bioaugmentation
Fatima Menezes Bento,Flávio Anastácio de Oliveira Camargo,Benedict C. Okeke,William T. Frankenberger +3 more
TL;DR: Natural attenuation was more effective than biostimulation (addition of nutrients), most notably in the Hong Kong soil, and bioaugmentation of the Long Beach soil showed the greatest degradation in the light and heavy fractions of TPH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards efficient crude oil degradation by a mixed bacterial consortium.
TL;DR: Temperature of 30 degrees C and pH 7.5 were found to be optima for maximum biodegradation of Bombay High (BH) crude oil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of biosurfactants for crude oil contaminated soil washing
Kingsley Urum,Turgay Pekdemir +1 more
TL;DR: These studies suggest that knowledge of surfactants' behaviour across different systems is paramount before their use in the practical application of oil removal, due to the low crude oil solubilization of 0.11%.

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.

Enhanced octadecane dispersion and biodegradation by a Pseudomonas rhamnolipid surfactant (biosurfactant)
Yimin Zhang,Raina M. Miller +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that rhamnolipids may have potential for facilitating the bioremediation of sites contaminated with hydrocarbons having limited water solubility.

Hydrocarbon assimilation and biosurfactant production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutants.
TL;DR: Results show that rhamnolipids play a major role in hexadecane uptake and utilization by P. aeruginosa.

Role of adherence in growth of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus RAG-1 on hexadecane.
Mel Rosenberg,Eugene Rosenberg +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that adherence is a crucial factor in the growth of A. calcoaceticus RAG-1 on hexadecane in the absence of extracellular emulsification of the substrate.
