Degradation of crude oil and the pure hydrocarbon fractions by indigenous soil microorganisms
Petroleum hydrocarbons are a major concern due to their widespread distribution in the environment, and their harmful effects on humans. The use of...
-
Bacteria consortia enhanced hydrocarbon degradation of waxy crude oil
Waxy crude oil is a problem to the oil and gas industry because wax deposition in pipelines reduces the quality of the crude oil. Currently, the...
-
Bio-augmentation and bio-stimulation with kenaf core enhanced bacterial enzyme activities during bio-degradation of petroleum hydrocarbon in polluted soil
Indigenous micro-organisms often possess the ability to degrade petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC) in polluted soil. However, this process can be improved...
-
Genomic insights into cryptic cycles of microbial hydrocarbon production and degradation in contiguous freshwater and marine microbiomes
BackgroundCyanobacteria and eukaryotic phytoplankton produce long-chain alkanes and generate around 100 times greater quantities of hydrocarbons in...
-
Diverse hydrocarbon degradation genes, heavy metal resistome, and microbiome of a fluorene-enriched animal-charcoal polluted soil
Environmental compartments polluted with animal charcoal from the skin and hide cottage industries are rich in toxic heavy metals and diverse...
-
Prokaryotic community structure and predicted metabolism associated with hydrocarbon degradation in marine sediments from the Northwest Coast of Baja California, Mexico
PurposeThe coastal environment is a fragile ecosystem exposed to anthropogenic pressures, including pollution. Microbial ecology studies have...

Degradation of representative perfluorinated and hydrocarbon surfactants by electron beam irradiation
Perfluorinated and hydrocarbon surfactants are important contaminants in wastewater. In this study, degradation of surfactants including PFOS, LAS,...
-
Effect of ocean acidification on the growth, response and hydrocarbon degradation of coccolithophore-bacterial communities exposed to crude oil
Hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, which can be found living with eukaryotic phytoplankton, play a pivotal role in the fate of oil spillage to the...

Impact of microorganism degradation on hydrocarbon generation of source rocks: A case study of the Bozhong Sag, Bohai Bay Basin
The discovery of the Bozhong 19-6 gas field, the largest integrated condensate gas field in the eastern China in 2018, opened up a new field for the...
-
Genome analysis of a coral-associated bacterial consortium highlights complementary hydrocarbon degradation ability and other beneficial mechanisms for the host
Here we report the oil degradation genetic potential of six oil-degrading bacteria (ODB), previously used as a bioremediation consortium, isolated...

Subsurface hydrocarbon degradation strategies in low- and high-sulfate coal seam communities identified with activity-based metagenomics
Environmentally relevant metagenomes and BONCAT-FACS derived translationally active metagenomes from Powder River Basin coal seams were investigated...
-
Enhancing biodegradation of aged hydrocarbon-contaminated soils through toluene addition: assessing effects on solid and slurry phase treatments
The main challenge in treating aged soils highly contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) is to enhance their bioavailability for...
-
Encapsulating commercial accelerometers with epoxy and fluoroelastomer for harsh hydrocarbon fluid environment
Traditionally, in the oil and gas industry, accelerometers are mounted externally on motors for condition monitoring of vertically suspended, closed...
