“…Hence, it is important to pay attention to the actual threats posed by the effects of these pollutants on living organisms [17,18], as well as the uncontrolled spread of petroleumderived substances in the natural environment [19,20]. Petrochemical products lead to the destabilization of soil health [19,21], contributing to the formation of anaerobic conditions in the soil, leading to the phenomenon known as soil necrosis. In such environments, anaerobic bacteria capable of transforming petroleum hydrocarbons thrive more intensively [22,23].…”

“…Therefore, research that contributes to the development of a multifaceted strategy aimed at developing innovative remediation methods [3,[42][43][44] is essential. Such methods will help to protect the environment by minimizing the problem of soil contamination with petroleum products [19,45]. Currently, research that is environmentally friendly and characterized by high pollutant degradation efficiency is being promoted [46,47].…”

The research focused on assessing the response of oxidoreductases (dehydrogenases and catalase) and hydrolases (urease, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, arylsulfatase, and β-glucosidase) to diesel oil (DO) and gasoline (G) contamination of soils subjected to phytoremediation with Zea mays. The activity of enzymes constitutes one of the fundamental mechanisms for the removal of contaminants from soil, which have the potential to contaminate not only the soil but also groundwater and water reservoirs. Additionally, correlations between enzyme activity and the basic physicochemical properties of the soil were determined. The interaction of perlite and dolomite with soil enzymes and the cultivated plant was also tested. The study was carried out in a pot experiment, where soil contaminated with DO or G was artificially treated at doses of 0, 8 cm3, and 16 cm3 kg−1. Perlite and dolomite were applied for remediation at doses of 0 and 10 g kg−1 of soil. Zea mays was found to respond to the tested pollutant with a reduction in biomass. DO affected the growth of this plant more than G. DO reduced the yield of aerial parts by 86% and G by 74%. The negative effects of these pollutants on the growth and development of Zea mays were mitigated by both perlite and dolomite. DO exerted greater pressure than G on the activity of oxidoreductases and hydrolases, as well as on the physicochemical properties of the soil. DO enhanced the activity of oxidoreductases and most hydrolases, whereas G inhibited them. The implementation of dolomite intensified the activity of all enzymes, except AcP (acid phosphatase) and Glu (ß-glucosidase), in soil contaminated with DO and G, and also improved its physicochemical properties. Perlite induced less significant effects than dolomite on soil enzymes and the physicochemical properties of the soil.

Biosurfactants are amphipathic molecules with considerable potential for application in different industries due to their biochemical characteristics, low toxicity as well as greater biodegradability and stability compared to chemical surfactants when submitted to adverse environmental conditions. The aim of the present study was to investigate the production of a biosurfactant by Candida lipolytica UCP 0988 grown in a medium containing 4.0% molasses, 2.5% used soybean frying oil, and 2.5% corn steep liquor for 144 h at 200 rpm. The biosurfactant was characterized; its stability and toxicity were investigated, and the compound was applied in oil removal tests. In the C. lipolytica growth and biosurfactant production studies, the surface tension of the medium was reduced from 72 mN/m to 25 mN/m, the critical micellar concentration (CMC) was 0.5 g/L (w/v), and the yield was 12 g/L. Tests under extreme conditions of temperature, pH, and NaCl indicated the stability of the biosurfactant. Fourier-transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the chemical structure of the purified biosurfactant suggested that the biosurfactant is a glycolipid. The anionic biosurfactant exhibited no toxicity to the microcrustacean Artemia salina or vegetable seeds (Brassica oleracea). Dispersion tests in seawater demonstrated 100% efficiency of the biomolecule against motor oil. The biosurfactant was efficient at removing oil from sand in static and kinetic tests at concentrations of ½ CMC (0.25 g/L), CMC (0.5 g/L), and 2 × CMC (1.0 g/L), with removal rates of 70 to 96%, whereas the synthetic surfactants tested removed only 10 to 18% of the oil. Based on the findings, the biosurfactant analyzed has considerable potential for the remediation of contaminated coastal and marine environments due to oil spills.
