Microbial diversity and bioremediation of rhizospheric soils from Trindade Island - Brazil
(Journal of Environmental Management, 2019)
Biodegradation and Phytotoxicity of Biodiesel, Diesel, and Petroleum in Soil
(Springer, 2014-05-01)
The study aimed to investigate the biodegradation of contaminated soil with biodiesel, diesel, and petroleum by autochthonous soil microorganisms and also enriched with Bacillus subtilis by means of colorimetric method. ...
Autochthonous bioaugmentation to enhance phenanthrene degradation in soil microcosms under arid conditions
(Springer, 2014-07)
The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of autochthonous bioaugmentation (ABA) in phenanthrene-contaminated Patagonian soil microcosms, maintained under arid conditions, on phenanthrene elimination and soil ...
Synergism in the desorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from soil models by mixed surfactant solutions
(Springer Heidelberg, 2016-02)
This study investigates the effect of a mixed surfactant system on the desorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from soil model systems. The interaction of a non-ionic surfactant, Tween 80, and an anionic one, ...
Hydrocarbon removal and bacterial community structure in on-site biostimulated biopile systems designed for bioremediation of diesel-contaminated Antarctic soil
(Springer, 2014-12)
Several studies have shown that biostimulation can promote hydrocarbon bioremediation processes in Antarctic soils. However, the effect of the different nutrient sources on hydrocarbon removal heavily depends on the nutrients ...
Use of molecular tools to monitor microbial communities during the bioremediation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon-contaminated soils
(2016-11)
One of the priority environmental pollutants, because of its high toxicity and persistence, are
the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are recalcitrant compounds exhibiting
high hydrophobicity and therefore ...
Clastogenicity of landfarming soil treated with sugar cane vinasse
(2013-02-01)
The addition of nutrients and/or soil bulking agents is used in bioremediation to increase microbial activity in contaminated soils. For this purpose, some studies have assessed the effectiveness of vinasse in the ...
Biosurfactant synthesis by Pseudomonas aeruginosa LBI isolated from a hydrocarbon-contaminated site
(Blackwell Publishing, 2008-11-01)
Aims: Pseudomonas aeruginosa LBI (Industrial Biotechnology Laboratory) was isolated from hydrocarbon-contaminated soil as a potential producer of biosurfactant and evaluated for hydrocarbon biodegradation. The emulsifying ...

(Blackwell Publishing, 2008-11-01)
Aims: Pseudomonas aeruginosa LBI (Industrial Biotechnology Laboratory) was isolated from hydrocarbon-contaminated soil as a potential producer of biosurfactant and evaluated for hydrocarbon biodegradation. The emulsifying ...
Use of immobilized biomass as low-cost technology for bioremediation of PAHs contaminated sites
(CRC Press - Taylor & Francis Group, 2018)
Organic compounds have been produced for industrial applications for decades and they are some of the widest spread and most persistent pollutants found in air, water, and sediments. Those so-called persistent organic ...
