Widespread soil contamination with oil and the toxicity of petroleum hydrocarbons to soil
biota make it extremely important to study microbial responses to oil stress. Soil metabolites …

The bioremediation of an oily sludge (321±30 mg of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons/kg
DRY SLUDGE and 13420±1300 mg of aliphatic hydrocarbons/kg DRY SLUDGE) by mixture …

Oil sludge washing (OSW) with surfactants and co-solvents is used to recover the oil, and
this process leaves some residuals (sediments and surfactant solution). Currently, there are …

Soil formation is a complex process that starts from the biological development. The
ecological principles and biological function in soil are of great importance, whereas their …

Due to its depletion in natural settings, the potential for aquaculture of the cnidarian
Anemonia viridis is currently attracting research interest. Knowledge about the physiology of …

Petroleum pollution has become an environmental menace in oil-rich countries.
Bioremediation can be used as an environmental-friendly method to remove pollutants. We …

Biodiesel presents a higher degradability than petroleum hydrocarbons in soils. Since
microorganisms dominate biodegradation processes, impacts on soil microbiota provide …

Land use and management practices have a significant impact on soil microbial populations
and community composition, thereby influencing ecosystem processes. Soil microbial and …

Due to the global problem of soil pollution by oil industry, the development of effective and
