Biosurfactants are surface-active metabolites produced by microorganisms. The applications
of these biological compounds in the field of enhanced oil recovery and bioremediation …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses oil spill dispersants. The prime purpose of using
dispersants is to reduce the impact of oil on shorelines. To accomplish this task, the …

The goal of the present experiment was to assess the relative acute toxicities of
mechanically and chemically dispersed oil (crude Arabian Light) in controlled conditions …

Dispersant application is used as a response technique to minimize the environmental risk
of an oil spill. In nearshore areas, dispersant application is a controversial countermeasure …

This new volume offers comprehensive coverage of bacterial biosurfactants, the competitive
new area of research that has exciting potential application in agriculture and petroleum …

Biodegradation of hydrocarbons in the environment is the natural way of cleaning the
nature. The potential biodegradation of hydrocarbon contaminants by microorganisms is …

The efficacy of four dispersants using the modified swirling flask method and their potential
to support bacterial growth during simulated oil spill control were evaluated. On the basis of …

In this study, the physicochemical characteristics of crude oil, dispersant and crude oil-
dispersant test systems and their toxicities on representative marine organisms in a …
