Current Status of and Future Perspectives in Bacterial Degradation of Benzo[a]pyrene

Alexis Nzila et al.

Summary: Research on the microbial degradation of the high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon BaP remains limited, as BaP consists of five fused aromatic rings which give it high chemical stability, making it resistant to degradation. The review highlights studies on BaP bacterial degradation and current gaps in knowledge, proposing new avenues of research.

Bibliometric Analysis of Hydrocarbon Bioremediation in Cold Regions and a Review on Enhanced Soil Bioremediation

How Swen Yap et al.

Summary: Human activities in cold regions rely on petroleum oils for various purposes, leading to accidental oil spills and significant soil pollution. Biological treatments are proposed as an innovative approach to mitigate petroleum hydrocarbon pollution in soils, but are hindered by the slow remediation process in cold regions. Recent biotechnological advancements using biostimulation and bioaugmentation strategies have shown promise in enhancing hydrocarbon removal efficiency under cold conditions.

An insight into the current oil spills and on-site bioremediation approaches to contaminated sites in Nigeria

Macdonald Ogorm Mafiana et al.

Summary: Land oil spills in Nigeria have caused significant pollution to the environment. Enhanced natural attenuation (RENA) and bioremediation techniques are effective methods for restoring contaminated sites. However, challenges such as delayed responses to spill emergencies and lack of legislative guidelines for cleanup remain in the region.
