Survey of petroleum hydrocarbons bioremediation in aquatic environment

Crude oil is one of the most important organic pollutants in aquatic ecosystems. One of the best skills for treatment of the marine and coastal environments is bioremediation “the use of microorganisms to accelerate the degradation of environmental contaminants”. It is a cost effective, green and sa...
