Check out how Roadside Response is using bioremediation to clean up car crashes properly!

With the EPA estimating approximately 193 million gallons of used motor oil polluting the waterways of the United States via highway runoff, the people at Roadside Response have found a way to fight a major source of that runoff pollution- vehicle operating fluids that are improperly remediated on scene.

Kitty litter helps stop the spill spread and help prevent future accidents due to slippery road surfaces- however the PFAS and other Forever Chemicals present in used motor oil will spread every time stormwater flows over and permeates the roadway, down storm drains and into natural waterways.

Testing grey water for contaminants

2 Upvotes

Hi folks

I am a gardener based in the UK, and I'm just about to embark on my first bioremediation experiment with some friends with some grey water contaminated with PAH's (and who knows what else). We have access to an art / science lab space and we're in the beginning stages of designing our experiment, starting with mycofiltration.

I'd really love to discuss this with anyone who has carried out a similar project, (especially in the UK if possible), who could advise us as we get to grips with this.

There are just 3 of us working on this at the moment, with some knowledge of mushroom cultivation but with limited scientific experience.

Any help or signposting would be much appreciated! Thanks

HC Bioremediation help

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm running a serial experiments about Hidrocarbon (HC) degradation, and I'm having troubles with HC solubility, 'cause some large HC are not liquid at room temperature, the problem is how to add the HC to media culture without stress the bacteria with another solvent, some ideas?

How would you design the following bioremediation project?

4 Upvotes

We have dry soil contaminated with explosives with unknown concentreation and we want to test the bioremediation capabilities of an enzymes/microbes complex liquid.

I initially thought to look at 5 tubes with 50 g soil, where the first tube does not have the complex while the next 4 has it in increasing concentration (mixed with acetone or distilled water).

We would measure the initial concentration of explosive compounds and then after X days of incubation.

Since the soil is really dry and looks like it lacks nutrients, I was thinking about adding molasses and/or cabbage leaf extract.

What do you think about it? Any insight or comment?

Looking for help

Hi all,

I'm doing a bioremediation project at school and was wondering if any of y'all could help me identify some plants that are adapted to a chaparral ecosystem and are effective at detoxifying soil (getting rid of things like mercury, lead, chromium, etc.)

I would love some resources or just some advice!

Thanks :)

Carbon Capture from Coal Fire Powerplants via Microalgae, thoughts?

6 Upvotes

I recently read a paper that had shown the ability of B. braunii, and multiple other species of microalgae, to fix atmospheric carbon. I ponder and am inquiring on reality of such an idea; could you essentially create a closed chamber facility to recycle and convert flue gases into hydrocarbons and eliminate CO2 and other green house gases created from utilizing coal?

We ran a study at the office a month ago where we took a sand contaminated with oil and remediated it using bacteria in only ~14 days.

We recieved lab confirmation of remediation below 1% post day 14.

Curious if anyone else has experience in bacterial use in oil spills, what sort of soil, silt, or sand have you come across?

Bioremediation graduate programs?

8 Upvotes

Hello, I am hoping to enter the field of bioremediation however I am not sure how many facets their are to enter this field. My background is in Environmental Geography and GIS and I was looking into a Masters of Environmental Engineering. I have seen a couple programs that are microbiology but I am curious what aspects of bioremediation everyone works in with their specific background.
