Plant residues - A low cost, effective bioremediation treatment for petrogenic hydrocarbon-contaminated soil

► Evaluation of the impact of 4 types of plant residues on the bioremediation of aliphatic hydrocarbons in contaminated soil. ► Development of a cost effective and green technology for hydrocarbon remediation in terrestrial environments. ► Greater understanding of the microbial mechanisms in this bioremediation system.
