Natural attenuation, biostimulation and bioaugmentation on biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in mangrove sediments.
196
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the biodegradability of a mixture of PAHs, namely fluorene (Fl), phenanthrene (Phe) and pyrene(Pyr), in mangrove sediment slurry, and showed that natural attenuation based on the presence of autochthonous microorganisms degraded more than 99% Fl and Phe but only around 30% of Pyr were degraded.

- 01 Jan 2008
TL;DR: Boyd et al. as discussed by the authors focused on patterns of microbial carbon consumption in estuarine sediments and relate these to the utilization of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as a recalcitrant, yet microbially available component of the carbon pool.

Rapid Screen for Bacteria Degrading Water-Insoluble, Solid Hydrocarbons on Agar Plates
TL;DR: A rapid procedure was devised for detecting on solid media bacteria able to degrade water-insoluble, solid hydrocarbons such as the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon phenanthrene, anthracene, and biphenyl, and other phen anthrene-assimilating bacteria, including Beijerinckia Bwt and Pseudomonas SPM64, also formed clear zones on Phenanthrene-covered agar plates.

Bioaugmentation as a soil bioremediation approach.
TL;DR: The debate over the efficacy of bioaugmentation rages on, with research continuing to demonstrate that its advantages for soil bioremediation are difficult to predict; however, when it works, the results are often very encouraging.

Contamination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in surface sediments of mangrove swamps
TL;DR: The concentrations of total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (sigmaPAHs) and 15 individual PAH compounds in 20 surface sediments collected from four mangrove swamps in Hong Kong indicated that PAHs in mangroves sediments might originate from oil or sewage contamination (petrogenic input).
