“…It has been reported that most of these microorganisms found in contaminated soil exhibit metabolic capabilities that result in organic compound degradation (Torres et al, 2005). Iturbe et al (2004b) reported the presence of Bacillus, Micrococcus, and Turicela genera during a 100-m 3 biopile operation. The species recognized in pristine soils of that work were B. brevis, B. liqueniformis, M. luteus, M. sedentarius, and T. otiditis.…”

Glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common human enzymopathy, affecting more than 200 million people worldwide. To date more than 123 mutations in the G6PD gene have been discovered, among which 12 point mutations are found in the Chinese. Setting up a simple and accurate method for detecting these mutations is not only useful for diagnosing G6PD deficiency under some circumstances that it is difficult to measure the activity of the enzyme, but also for studying the frequency of the G6PD genotypes. The purpose of this study was to develop a simple, inexpensive and accurate method for detecting these common mutations. Microarray‐based assay was described in this study. Samples from 198 G6PD‐deficient persons were investigated. The DNA sequencing data supported the results obtained by microarray‐based assay. Thus, we concluded that the microarray‐based assay is a rapid, simple, inexpensive, and accurate method for detecting the most common G6PD gene mutations among the Chinese. This method involves the selective amplification of human G6PD gene with specific oligonucleotide primers, fragmentation and labeling of PCR products, followed by hybridization with allele‐specific oligonucleotide (ASO) probes on chip.

“…This process can be developed in situ (Iturbe et al 2004b) or in washing ditches (Iturbe et al 2004a), the process is based on the high capabilities possessed by surfactants to increase the hydrophobic compounds solubility in water and, even, to form micelles, which in turn will mobilize the contaminants into the surfactant solution, eliminating them from the soil (Lopez et al 2004;Torres et al 2004). …”

Oil spills due to oil pipelines is a very frequent problem in Mexico. Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), very concerned with the environmental agenda, has been developing inspection and correction plans for zones around oil pipelines pumping stations and pipeline right-of-way. These stations are located at regular intervals of kilometres along the pipelines. In this study, two sections of an oil pipeline and two pipeline pumping stations zones are characterized in terms of the presence of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPHs) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). The study comprehends sampling of the areas, delimitation of contamination in the vertical and horizontal extension, analysis of the sampled soils regarding TPHs content and, in some cases, the 16 PAHs considered as priority by USEPA, calculation of areas and volumes contaminated (according to Mexican legislation, specifically NOM-EM-138-ECOL-2002) and, finally, a proposal for the best remediation techniques suitable for the contamination levels and the localization of contaminants.

“…We have found that sodium dodecyl sulphate posses greater petroleum hydrocarbon removal than other surfactants employed [6][7][8]23]. Its use for restoration of soil contaminated with TPHs and PAHs has been proved to be as efficient as the use of biopiles or in situ flushing pilot plant (41 m 3 ) with similar operational costs (140, 94 and 104 US$/m 3 , respectively) [21,22].…”
