ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION FULL-SCALE IMPLEMENTATION: BACK TO SIMPLE MICROBIAL MASSIVE CULTURE APPROACHES

Using bioaugmentation and biostimulation approach for contaminated soil bioremediation were investigated andimplemented on field scale. We combine those approaches by culturing massively the petrophilic indigenousmicroorganisms from chronically contaminated soil enriched by mixed manure. Through these methods, bioremediationperformance revealed promising results in removing the petroleum hydrocarbons comparatively using metabolite byproduct such as biosurfactant, specific enzymes and other extra-cellular product which are considered as a difficult taskand will impact on cost increase.Keywords: bioremediation, environmental biotechnology, oil and gas industr
