Soil contamination with total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) is widespread throughout the
globe due to the massive production of TPH anthropogenically and its occurrence in the soil …

Organic pollution of the environment is a serious issue that affects the planet's soil, water,
and air, posing a significant threat to ecosystems and living organisms. Bioremediation has …

Most plastics are released to the environment in landfills and around 32% end up in the sea,
inducing large ecological and health impacts. The plastics constitute a physical substrate …

It is now indisputable that plastics are ubiquitous and problematic in ecosystems globally.
Many suggestions have been made about the role that biofilms colonizing plastics in the …

The marine environment is highly susceptible to pollution by petroleum, and so it is
important to understand how microorganisms degrade hydrocarbons, and thereby mitigate …

Plastic particles in the ocean are typically covered with microbial biofilms, but it remains
unclear whether distinct microbial communities colonize different polymer types. In this …

Dispersants provide a reliable large-scale response to catastrophic oil spills that can be
used when the preferable option of recapturing the oil cannot be achieved. By allowing even …

Heavier fraction hydrocarbons (C 15-C 36) formed in soil after biotic and abiotic weatherings
of engine oil are the continuing constraints in the bioremediation strategy, and their …

Application of chemical dispersants to oil spills in the marine environment is a common
practice to disperse oil into the water column and stimulate oil biodegradation by increasing …

Dispersants are important tools for stimulating the biodegradation of large oil spills. They are
essentially a bioremediation tool–aiming to stimulate the natural process of aerobic oil …
