The biodegradation of cable oil components : impact of oil concentration, nutrient addition and bioaugmentation
TL;DR: Cable oil biodegradation was a function of cable oil concentration and catabolic ability of microbial populations, and bioaugmentation achieved the best cable oilBiodegradation performance, resulting in increases in cumulative CO(2) respiration, and maximum rates and extents of (14)C-phenyldodecane mineralisation.

TL;DR: A novel technique is described for the identification and quantification of environmental pollutants based on toxicity fingerprinting with a metabolic lux-marked bacterial biosensor, which involves characterizing the toxicity-based responses of the biosensor to seven calibration pollutants as acute temporal-dose response fingerprints.

Non-exhaustive extraction techniques (NEETs) for bioavailability assessment of organic hydrophobic compounds in soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a method for extracting hydrophobic organic compounds using cyclodextrin and resine hydrophobe from organic resins using a non exhaustive extraction technique.
The potential for anaerobic mineralisation of hydrocarbon constituents of oily drill cuttings from the North Sea seabed.
TL;DR: This study demonstrates the potential for natural attenuation of at least some hydrocarbon constituents of oily drill cuttings under realistic environmental conditions and highlights the involvement of a wide functional consortium in thenatural attenuation process.
