Hydrocarbon remediation by Patagonian microbial consortia
(Springer, 2016)
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 ...
Bacterial hydrocarbon-degrading consortium from Antarctic soils (short communication)
(Asociación Argentina de Microbiología, 2009-12)
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 ...
Molecular biological tools for the assessment of hydrocarbon-degrading potential in coastal environments
(Springer, 2016)
This chapter includes the advances achieved so far in the design and implementation of molecular biological tools (MBTs) for the assessment of hydrocarbon-degrading potential in microbial communities from coastal environments ...
Enhanced polyaromatic hydrocarbon degradation by adapted cultures of actinomycete strains
(Wiley Vch Verlag, 2014-09)
Fifteen actinomycete strains were evaluated for their potential use in removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Their capability to degrade of naphthalene, phenanthrene, and pyrene was tested in minimal medium ...
Co-treatment of an oily sludge and aged contaminated soil: permanganate oxidation followed by bioremediation
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2020-05-01)
The bioremediation of an oily sludge (321 ± 30 mg of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons/kgDRY SLUDGE and 13420 ± 1300 mg of aliphatic hydrocarbons/kgDRY SLUDGE) by mixture with contaminated soil (23 ± 2 mg of polycyclic ...
Biosurfactant-enhanced degradation of residual hydrocarbons from ship bilge wastes
(Springer Heidelberg, 2000-07)
The use of Bacillus subtilis O9 biosurfactant (surfactin) and of bioaugmentation to improve the treatment of residual hydrocarbons from ship bilge wastes was studied. A biodegradation experiment was conducted in aquaria ...
Effectiveness of the Zea mays-Streptomyces association for the phytoremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons impacted soils
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2019-11)
Restoring polluted sites by petroleum hydrocarbons is a challenge because of their complexity and persistence in the environment. The main objective of the present study was to investigate the performance of plant-actinobacteria ...
