Effect of surfactants on the removal of total petroleum hydrocarbons and microbial communities during bioremediation of a contaminated mining soil

“…The concentration at which micelles first begin to form is known as critical micelle concentration and corresponds to the point where the surfactant exhibits the lowest surface tension (Ling et al, 2023). Bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons contaminated soils depends on surfactant type and its concentration, contaminant concentration, moisture content, and microorganisms present in the contaminated soil (Vázquez et al, 2022). However, some reports indicate that nonionic surfactants inhibit TPH biodegradation within concentrations above their critical micellar concentration (CMC) and it is related to the toxicity effect of these compounds to the microbial cell membrane.…”

Biodegradation of crude oil present in wastewaters: evaluation of biosurfactant production and catechol 2,3 dioxygenase activity

“…The microbial degradation of monoaromatic hydrocarbons such as BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes) has been extensively reported (Bacosa et al, 2011). AHs seriously threaten our environment by damaging ecosystems and affecting human health when they are accidentally released during exploration, drilling, extraction, storage, refining, and transportation (Houbron et al, 2021;Tao et al, 2020;Vázquez-Vélez et al, 2022).…”
