This review proposes a new bioremediation method based on the diverse functionalities of
algae. A greenway for cleansing wastewater is more ecologically friendly and …

Several oil spill simulation models exist in the literature, which are used worldwide to
simulate the evolution of an oil slick created from marine traffic, petroleum production, or …

Petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) are one of the most widespread and heterogeneous
organic contaminants affecting marine ecosystems. The contamination of marine sediments …

Sedimentary habitats cover most of the ocean bottom and therefore constitute the largest
single ecosystem on Earth in spatial coverage. The benthic ecosystem contributes to human …

Microbial remediation has proven to be an effective technique for the cleanup of crude-oil
contaminated sites. However, limited information exists on the dynamics involved in defined …

Abstract The Deepwater Horizon oil spill was the largest in US history, unprecedented for
the depth and volume of oil released, the amount of dispersants applied, and the …

Microorganisms are present in oil reservoirs around the world where they degrade oil and
lead to changes in oil quality. Unfortunately, our knowledge about processes in deep oil …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread in marine ecosystems and
originate from natural sources and anthropogenic activities. PAHs enter the marine …

Many hypersaline environments are often contaminated with petroleum compounds. Among
these, oil and natural gas production sites all over the world and hundreds of kilometers of …

PAHs are largely spread in the aquatic environment, and the drawbacks of conventional
remediation techniques as well as the expenditures for alternative disposal of polluted …
