“…Hydrocarbon-degrading microbes produce a variety of biosurfactants (Table 5) as part of (35,356,618). Suppression of their production, by use of inhibitors or mutagens, retards the ability of these bacteria to degrade oil (41,491).…”

“…Furthermore, several important variables that would be relevant in a field scale system were not considered in this experiment, including pressure-washing effects, soak time after SCA application and before flushing, and repeated application of the SCA. As such, the cumulative percent removals are valid only for relative compari- Field studies have demonstrated that SCA use can result in significantly higher removal efficiencies (Tumeo et al, 1994). However, significant disagreement still exists about SCA effectiveness, appropriateness and testing (Fingas et al, 1990;MSRC, 1993).…”

“…For example, in 1994, the effectiveness of a biosurfactant called PES-51 for the removal of weathered crude from contaminated sand was investigated in Exxon Valdaz oil spill in La Touche Island. The results indicated 70% of the semivolatile components was removed from the sample [47]. Usually, the biological methods are environmentally friendly and retain the quality of environments (soil or water) during the remediation process.…”
