Effectiveness of bioremediation for the Exxon Valdez oil spill

Bioremediation Assessment of a BTEX‐Contaminated Soil

“…Nutrient supplementation is usually done by adding slowrelease water-soluble granules [14,15] or oleophilic fertilisers, such as Inipol EAP22 [5,[16][17][18]. The stimulating effect of the oleophilic fertiliser has been attributed to its surface-active component that increases solubility and thus bioavailability of poorly soluble hydrocarbons.…”

Effects of temperature and fertilization on the structure of total versus active bacterial communities from sub-Antarctic seawater exposed to crude oil and diesel fuel

“…Nutrient availability is a limiting factor since hydrocarbons are characterized by high carbon to nitrogen and phosphorous ratios that do not support microbial growth, unless available nutrients correct this imbalance (Head et al 2006). The addition of fertilizers after oil pollution events has shown increased hydrocarbon degradation rates in cold environments (Bragg et al 1994) by enhancing both saprophytic and hydrocarbon-utilizing microbiota (Delille et al 1998).…”

Optimized Production of Biosurfactant by the Indigenous Bacterium, Pseudoalteromonas sp. HK-3 Originating from Oil-Spilled Areas

“…그러나 이러한 물리화학적 방법에 서 수반되는 이차 또는 삼차 오염으로 인하여, 그 대안으로 미생물학적 제거방법이 선진국에서 제기된 바 있다 [1]. 미생 물학적 방법은 미소 환경생태계의 변화에 근거하여 문제가 제기되고 있지만, 이 제거방법은 여전히 오염지역에 미량으 로 존재하는 원유의 제거에 효과적이며, Exxon Valdez 사건 이후에 미생물에 의한 누출된 원유제거에 대한 제반사항들 이 많은 주목을 받아오고 있다 [2,3] [11,12]. 이들 단일 균주 가운데, 본 연구에서는 Pseudoalteromonas sp.…”
