Hydrocarbons produce raw crude oil waste of around 600,000 metric tons per annum, with a range of uncertainty of 200,000 metric tons per year. The various chapters in this book focus on approaches to reduce these wastes through the application of potential microbes, in a process called bioremediation. The book is a one-stop reference resource on the methods, mechanisms and application of the bio-composites, in the laboratory and field. Focusing on resolving a very pressing environmental issue, it not only provides details of existing challenges, but also offers deeper insights into the possibility of solving problems using hydrocarbon bioremediationSummary: Microbial Consortia and Biodegradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Marine Environments -- Biosurfactants in Improving Bioremediation Effectiveness in Environmental Contamination by Hydrocarbons -- Bioremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon in Seawater: Oil Spill Plume Modelling Approaches -- Hydrocarbon Degradation Assessment: Biotechnical Approaches Involved -- Microbes and Petroleum bioremediation -- Microbial Degradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons: Technology and Mechanism -- Biosurfactant Enhanced Petroleum Oil Bioremediation -- Modeling Applications in Bioremediation of Hydrocarbon Pollutants -- Biodegradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) by Microbes Isolated from the Marine Sponge Biemna fortis (Topsent 1897) -- A Comprehensive Review on the Bioremediation of Oil Spills -- The Small-Scale Microbial Processes for Remediation of Sediments Contaminated with Hydrocarbons -- Enzyme Activities in Contaminated Soil with Hydrocarbons -- Microbial Degradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons -- Microbial Bioremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon: An Overview -- Microbial Degradation of Hydrocarbons in the Ecosystem -- Microbial Degradation of Hydrocarbons in the Environment: An Overview -- Plant-Microbe Association for Bioremediation of Hydrocarbon Substrates -- Bioaugmentation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon in Contaminated Soil : A Review -- Petroleum Microbiology under Extreme Conditions -- Microbial Degradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons: An Overview -- Oil Spill Removal by Mycoremediation -- Treatment of Oily Waste Water Using Hydrogels -- Biosurfactants Produced by Microbacterium sp., isolated from Aquatic Macrophytes in Hydrocarbon-Contaminated area in the Rio Negro, Manaus, Amazonas -- Novel and Cost Effective Technologies for Hydrocarbon Bioremediation -- Role of Filamentous Fungi to Remove Petroleum Hydrocarbons from Environment -- Petroleum Biodegrading Property of Microbial Consortia from a contaminated site -- The Role of Microbes towards Biodegradation of Hydrocarbons -- Hydrocarbon Degradation -- A Review on the Bioremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons: Current State-of-the-ArtPPN: PPN: 1067365400Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SBL | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXB
