Marine oil spills are catastrophic events that cause massive damage to ecosystems at all
trophic levels. While most of the research has focused on carbon‐degrading …

Biodegradation of oil by marine bacteria is a significant pathway to oil spill remediation.
Marine hydrocarbon degrading bacteria are known to form biofilms consisting of exopolymer …

Glycine-glucolipid, a glycolipid, is natively synthesized by the marine bacterium Alcanivorax
borkumensis SK2. A. borkumensis is a Gram-negative, non-motile, aerobic, halophilic, rod …

Bioremediation for degradation of hydrocarbons is a widely used alternative for the recovery
of contaminated sites. The current study aimed to use Alcanivorax borkumensis crude …

Halloysites as tubular alumosilicates are introduced as inexpensive natural nanoparticles to
form and stabilize oil–water emulsions. This stabilized emulsion is shown to enable efficient …

Particle stabilized emulsions provide an environmentally friendly alternative to the chemical
dispersion of oil in the event of a spill over water. Mineral clay particles present in …

This study aimed to assess the physicochemical, microbiological and toxicological hazards
at an illegal landfill in central Poland. The research included the analysis of airborne dust …

This study investigates the production of alkane hydroxylase, lipase and esterase by the
marine hydrocarbon degrading bacteria Alcanivorax borkumensis. The focus of this study is …

Alcanivorax borkumensis is a bacterial community that dominates hydrocarbon-degrading
communities around many oil spills. The physicochemical conditions that prompt bacterial …

Autochthonous microorganisms inhabiting hydrocarbon polluted marine environments play
a fundamental role in natural attenuation and constitute promising resources for …
