which is important to the application of bioremediation in oil-contaminated sites. In this study, we determined microbial functional gene diversity from oil-contaminated soils with GeoChip.

One study examined the effects of bioremediation techniques on crude oil-contaminated soils, highlighting the potential of using specific bacterial strains to restore soil properties. The research ...

Banks and Schwab have used plants to help clean up a Texas oil pipeline spill, contamination at an Indiana manufactured-gas plant, an industrial sludge site in California and diesel spills on Naval ...

Holliger also points out that contaminated soil often contains several pollutants, complicating matters further. But under the right conditions, this kind of bioremediation can be effective.
