Soil contamination with diesel oil is quite common during processes of transport and storage. Bioremediation is considered a safe, economical, and environmentally friendly approach for contaminated soil treatment. In this ...

In this laboratory-scale study, we examined the potential of chitin and chitosan flakes obtained from shrimp wastes as carrier material for a hydrocarbon-degrading bacterial strain. Flakes decontamination, immobilization ...

Among the technologies for recovering hydrocarbon-polluted sites, bioremediation is particularly interesting for wastewater and residue treatment. In this chapter, we first introduce hydrocarbon bioremediation focusing on ...

Marinobacter is a Gammaproteobacterium and member of the family Alteromonadaceae. Some Marinobacter species degrade hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds, raising the possibility of applications in marine bioremediation. ...

To investigate the diversity and the catabolic capacity of oil-degrading Klebsiella strains isolated from hydrocarbon-contaminated sediments in Santos-Sao Vicente estuary systems in Brazil. Klebsiella strains obtained from ...

Removal of contaminants from polluted environments could be improved by taking advantage of the catabolic capacity of some microorganisms ina  process called bioremediation. Nowadays the use of microbial associations (also ...

Broad host range entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana attack insect hosts via attachment to cuticular substrata and the production of enzymes for the degradation and penetration of insect cuticle. The outermost ...
