This Volume presents applications of hydrocarbon microbiology in
the context of environmental pollutant degradation, covering
pollutants such as petroleum and related wastes (i.e. oil sludge),
biofuels, lipid-rich wastes, chlorinated solvents and BTEX, in
several environments (marine, soil, groundwater). The approaches
presented range from laboratory experiments and treatment in
reactors to field applications. Two chapters highlight innovative
approaches to address relevant questions in pollutant degradation,
such as low environmental concentrations of pollutants, and the
biodegradation of complex pollutant mixtures using biofilms. Rather
than presenting the applications in the form of protocols, some of
the chapters in this Volume include detailed practical information
on the opportunities offered by and limitations of the different
approaches, providing valuable information for researchers planning
to perform bioremediation experiments. Hydrocarbon and Lipid
Microbiology Protocols There are tens of thousands of structurally
different hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon derivatives and lipids, and a
wide array of these molecules are required for cells to function.
The global hydrocarbon cycle, which is largely driven by
microorganisms, has a major impact on our environment and climate.
Microbes are responsible for cleaning up the environmental
pollution caused by the exploitation of hydrocarbon reservoirs and
will also be pivotal in reducing our reliance on fossil fuels by
providing biofuels, plastics and industrial chemicals. Gaining an
understanding of the relevant functions of the wide range of
microbes that produce, consume and modify hydrocarbons and related
compounds will be key to responding to these challenges. This
comprehensive collection of current and emerging protocols will
facilitate acquisition of this understanding and exploitation of
useful activities of such microbes.
