Disposal of the high volume of produced water (PW) is a big challenge to the oil and gas
industry. High cost of conventional treatment facilities, increasing energy prices and …

Pollution of aquatic ecosystems by plastic wastes poses severe environmental and health
problems and has prompted scientific investigations on the fate and factors contributing to …

Profound biogeochemical responses of anoxic sediments to the fluctuation of dissolved
oxygen (DO) concentration in overlaying water are often observed, despite oxygen having a …

Recently, a new group of multicellular microorganisms was discovered, called 'cable
bacteria', which are capable of generating and mediating electrical currents across …

Cable bacteria are filamentous bacteria that couple the oxidation of sulfide in sediments to
the reduction of oxygen via long-distance electron transport over centimeter distances …

The accumulation of petroleum hydrocarbons in the environment substantially endangers
terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Many microbial strains have been recognized to utilize …

Degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons (HC) in sediments is often limited by the availability
of electron acceptors. By allowing long-distance electron transport (LDET) between anoxic …

Oil pollution has been a worldwide concern especially in environments where treatment is
quite difficult to apply. Marine polluted sediments, in particular, constitute one of the most …

From a fundamental standpoint, microbial electrochemistry is unravelling a thrilling link
