Bioremediation, the exploitation of biological catalysts (mostly microorganisms) for removing pollutants from the environment, requires the integration of huge amounts of data from different sources. We have developed MetaRouter, a system for maintaining heterogeneous information related to bioremediation in a framework that allows its query, administration and mining (application of methods fo...

Background The Sossego mine, located in Canaã dos Carajás, Pará, Brazil, has a pond of wastes with low copper concentrations economically unfeasable for extraction. In this place, we can improve environmental conditions and, at the same time, recover part of the ore diluted in these wastes, through evaluation and use of the local biodiversity, in bioremediation processes, once the use of this t...

Bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in contaminated soils are reported many literatures. Composting, addition to bioremediation, can simultaneously increase soil organic matter content and fertility is thus regarded as one the most cost-effective methods remediation. In this study, biodegradation phenanthrene (PHE) pyrene (PYR) by microbial consortia enriched vermicompost....

 The effectiveness of hydrocarbon bioremediation strategies approaches is depending on various issues such as type and volume of pollution, nutrient accessibility in the target ecosystem, time, biodiversity of microorganisms, pollutant bioavailability and many others. In the present research, laboratory studies were carried out on the bioremediation of coastal sediment samples ...

Petroleum hydrocarbons are important energy resources used by industry and in our daily life, whose production contributes highly to environmental pollution. To control such risk, bioremediation constitutes an environmentally friendly alternative technology that has been established and applied. It constitutes the primary mechanism for the elimination of hydrocarbons from contaminated sites by ...

Organohalide compounds such as chloroethenes, chloroethanes, and polychlorinated benzenes are among the most significant pollutants in the world. These compounds are often found in contamination plumes with other pollutants such as solvents, pesticides, and petroleum derivatives. Microbial bioremediation of contaminated sites, has become commonplace whereby key processes involved in bioremediat...

Heavy metal wastewater poses a threat to human life and causes significant environmental problems. Bioremediation provides a sustainable waste management technique that uses organisms to remove heavy metals from contaminated water through a variety of different processes. Biosorption involves the use of biomass, such as plant extracts and microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, algae, yeast), and repr...

Title of Document: THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION OF ACETATE THRESHOLDS AS A MONITORING TOOL FOR IN SITU BIOREMEDIATION Supida Piwkhow, Master of Science, 2007 Directed By: Associate Professor, Eric A. Seagren Civil and Environmental Engineering Department Assistant Professor, Jennifer G. Becker Environmental Science and Technology Department H2 thresholds have been widely used to demo...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Petroleum pollution is a global disaster and there are several soil cleaning methods including bioremediation. METHODS In a field study, fugal strains were isolated from oil-contaminated sites of Arak refinery (Iran) and their growth ability was checked in potato dextrose agar (PDA) media containing 0-10% v/v crude oil, the activity of three enzymes (Catalase, Peroxid...
