Oil and fuel spills occur regularly in terrestrial and aquatic environments and substances
such as crude oil can contain many compounds that are highly resistant to degradation …

Aromatic hydrocarbons contaminate many environments worldwide, and their removal often
relies on microbial bioremediation. Whereas aerobic biodegradation has been well studied …

The soil environment is essential to many ecosystem services which are primarily mediated
by microbial communities. Soil physical and chemical conditions are altered on local and …

Bioremediation of soil and groundwater sites contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons is
known as a technically viable, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable technology …

An increase in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollution poses significant challenges
to human and ecosystem health in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) of the Yangtze River …

Arctic soils are increasingly susceptible to petroleum hydrocarbon contamination, as
exploration and exploitation of the Arctic increase. Bioremediation in these soils is …

Biodegradation of pollutants is a sustainable and cost-effective solution to groundwater
pollution. Here, we investigate microbial populations involved in biodegradation of poly …

A real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to quantify the proportion of
microorganisms containing alkane monooxygenase was developed and used to follow …

Antarctic lakes are characterised by simplified, truncated food webs. The lakes range from
freshwater to hypersaline with a continuum of physical and chemical conditions that offer a …

High-Arctic soils have low nutrient availability, low moisture content, and very low
temperatures and, as such, they pose a particular problem in terms of hydrocarbon …
