Ocean oil spills can severely impact ecosystems and disrupt marine biodiversity and habitats. Microbial remediation is an effective method for removing thin oil slick contamination. In this study, the adsorption and degradation of low-concentration oil spills by Chlorella vulgaris LH-1 immobilized in konjac glucomannan (KGM) aerogel were investigated. The ...

The tolerance and degradation characteristics of a marine oil-degrading strain Acinetobacter sp. Y9 were investigated in the presence of diesel oil and simulated radioactive nuclides (Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Sr2+, Cs+) at varying concentrations, as well as exposure to ?-ray radiation (Co-60). The maximum tolerable concentrations for Co2+and Ni2+ were found to b ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are typical organic pollutants accumulated in the environment. PAHs' bioremediation in sediments can be promoted by adding electron acceptor (EA) and electron donor (ED). Bicarbonate and sulfate were chosen as two EAs, and acetate and lactate were selected as two EDs. Six groups of amendments were added into the ...

In this study, we investigated the doping of Fe-N-C with ZnO (Fe-N-C@ZnO) to enhance its performance in the reduction of biological toxicity and degradation of enrofloxacin (ENR) in seawater. The steady-state/transient fluorescence analysis and free radical quenching test indicated an extremely low electron-hole recombination rate and the generation of re ...
