The energy resources mainly petroleum and petroleum hydrocarbons are major pollutants of
the environment. The oil and oil products contamination may cause severe harm and hence …

Petroleum is a very complex and diverse organic mixture. Its composition depends on
reservoir location and in situ conditions and changes once crude oil is spilled into the …

Major advances in our understanding of marine bacterial diversity have been gained
through studies of bacterioplankton, the vast majority of which appear to be gram negative …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous pollutants in the environment and
are derived from both man-made and natural resources. The present study is focused on the …

Fifteen bacterial strains isolated from solid waste oil samples were selected due to their
capacity of growing in the presence of hydrocarbons. The isolates were identified by PCR of …

Frequent marine oil spills have led to increasingly serious oil pollution along shorelines.
Microbial remediation has become a research hotspot of intertidal oil pollution remediation …

Biosurfactants can be used for bioremediation as amphiphilic compounds that have shown
good tolerance to changes in temperature, salt concentration, pH, and other environmental …

Crude oil is a common environmental pollutant composed of a large number of both
aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Biodegradation is carried out by microbial …

Accidental leakages during hydrocarbon fuels transportation and other activities are
inevitable, making these hydrocarbons the most common global environmental pollutants …

Aims: The aim of this study was to isolate, characterize and evaluate the importance of
naphthalene‐degrading bacterial strains from oil‐contaminated tropical marine sediments …
