Bioaugmentation and biostimulation strategies to improve the effectiveness of bioremediation processes (2011, methodology): “These diverse catabolic activities are due to the presence of catabolic genes and enzymes (de Carvalho and da Fonseca 2005; Khomenkov et al. 2008; van der Geize and Dijkhuizen 2004 ).”
Biodegradation: Involved Microorganisms and Genetically Engineered Microorganisms (2013, background): “Bioaugmentation is usually applied in cases where natural active microbial communities are present in low quantities or even absent, wherein the addition of contaminant degrading organisms can accelerate the transformation rates [111].”
Chlorpyrifos biodegradation and 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol production by actinobacteria isolated from soil (2012, background): “Microorganisms that are capable of pollutant biodegradation are typically already present in contaminated soils (Fantroussi and Agathos, 2005).”
Application of microorganisms in bioremediation-review (2018, background): “The efficiency of bioremediation depends on many factors; including, the chemical nature and concentration of pollutants, the physicochemical characteristics of the environment, and their availability to microorganisms [4].”
The Role of Microorganisms in Bioremediation- A Review (2017, background): “The effi ciency of bioremediation depends on many factors; including, the chemical nature and concentration of pollutants, the physicochemical characteristics of the environment, and their availability to microorganisms [4].”
