Ten plant species were grown in constructed wetlands (CWs) to remediate water containing
2%(w/v) crude oil. The plant species with better growth and biomass production were Typha …

An attempt to incorporate a soil-isolated bacterial consortium capable of degrading
hydrocarbons into the sweet flag rhizosphere was made in order to introduce the plant …

Different grasses and trees were tested for their growth in a crude oil contaminated soil.
Three grasses, Lolium perenne, Leptochloa fusca, Brachiaria mutica, and two trees …

The effect of initial pH on the bioremediation of crude oil polluted water using a consortium
of microbes was investigated in this study. Six samples each with initial pH values of 3, 5, 6 …

The aim of this study was to isolate hydrocarbons-degrading bacteria for treatment of oily
wastewater from long-standing petroleum-polluted sediments in Bohai Bay, China. Six …

The presence of diesel in the water could reduce the growth of plant and thus
phytoremediation efficacy. The toxicity of diesel to plant is commonly explained; because of …

Hydrocarbon contamination may happen in various ways such as accidents during fuel
transportation by trucks and ships, leakage of oil from underground storage tanks, or during …

The intrinsic biodegradability of hydrocarbons and the distribution of proficient degrading
microorganisms in the environment are very crucial for the implementation of bioremediation …

Microbe-assisted phytoremediation depends on competent root-associated microorganisms
that enhance remediation efficiency of organic compounds. Endophytic bacteria are a key …

In this study, two biosurfactant producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa sp. were isolated from
motor oil contaminated soil for crude oil, alkane and PAH degradation studies …
