Bioremediation of Crude Oil Contaminated Niger Delta Rainforest Soil: A Focus on Saccharum officinarum Rhizoremediation

Ubogu M.*, Akponah E, Odokuma. L.O

Quite a minute number of plants have been investigated for rhizoremediation of crude oil  contaminated rainforest soils in the Niger Delta in relation to the overwhelmingly large number of plants.  S. officinarum, one of the world’s most propagated grasses was investigated by contaminating soils with  oil at 3480 and 7050 mg/kg respectively and sub...

Autochthonous Microbial Bioaugmented Remediation of Crude Oil Contaminated Soil in the Niger Delta

The effectiveness of bioaugmentation using a consortium of indigenous hydrocarbon utilizing microorganisms in conjunction with NPK fertilization for localized remediation of crude-oil polluted rainforest soil was investigated by subjecting soil to these treatments: soil (S); soil + oil (SO); soil + oil + fertilizer (SOF); soil + oil + fertilizer...
