20.500.12556/DKUM-91884 Ex situ bioremediation of diesel fuel-contaminated soil in two different climates The petroleum industry is often faced with accidental spills and discharges that pollute valuable natural resources such as soil. The purpose of this study was to assess bioremediation potential of an on-site landfarming unit (LU), a highly economical solution that complies with the zero-waste policy, for bioremediation of the contaminated soil after an actual diesel fuel leakage in a fuel depot. The first aim was to evaluate the effects of different climates on hydrocarbon bioremediation. For this reason, a part of the contaminated soil was moved from the initial location with a sub-Mediterranean climate to an LU at another location with a temperate continental climate. Our results demonstrated that remediation in sub-Mediterranean climate is less effective than the remediation in a temperate continental climate. The second aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different plant species on the microbial population during bioremediation. For that purpose, 365-day monitoring of phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) was performed. Our results support the hypothesis that plant-assisted bioremediation can diminish toxic effects of diesel-polluted soil and that the changes in plant species during bioremediation cause changes in the microbial population. bioremediation climatic effect contamined soil microbial community petroleum hydrocarbons bioremediacija podnebni vplivi gorivo true true false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15226514.2023.2204165?scroll=top&needAccess=true#abstract ß 2023 The Author(s) Članek v reviji 2025-02-21 10:54:13 2025-02-21 10:54:14 2025-06-11 16:13:54 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 8 str.
