“…Biostimulation can also enhance degradation by inducing enzymes responsible for degradation (Cosgrove et al, 2010). However, it has been reported that added nutrients had no effect on the decontamination of polluted sites (Seklemova et al, 2001) and that extensive nutrient addition may be harmful to microbes and may result in slow degradation (Peltola et al, 2006). This study has shown the effectiveness of fortifying the soil in the clean-up of aviation fuel pollution as it speeds up the rate at which degradation of xenobiotic substances occur.…”

Various studies have shown that hydrocarbon contaminants are fast becoming a global menace. Many methods have been adopted for cleaning up this contaminant. The use of biostimulation and bioaugmentation have been methods of choice for bioremediation as both options are safe and cheap. In the present study, the soil of University of Lagos botanical garden was contaminated with aviation fuel and was monitored for 35 days. The soil was fortified with Minimal Salt Medium and consortium of Ralstonia sp. Strain SA4 and Pseudomonas sp. Strain SA6 separately in two microcosms. The aim of the experiment was to determine the better option for use in the case of contamination with hydrocarbons. The methods were both effective as both microcosms displayed a magnitude of reduction in the aviation oil content between days 0 and 35. The soil seeded with consortium of Ralstonia sp. Strain SA4 and Pseudomonas sp. Strain SA6, showed 80% degradation rate while that fortified with MSM showed 77% degradation rate. However, the result showed bioaugmentation to be effective option to be explored especially in the developing parts of the world

“…In the study by Mikkonen et al (2014), similar amplicon length in oil-contaminated and urea-fertilized soil was formed by Actinobacteria . N addition is clearly crucial to enhance the biodegradation, but the N type and dosage also matter; too intense fertilization has detrimental effects on microbial processes (Akbari and Ghoshal 2014; Kauppi et al 2011; Chaillan et al 2006; Peltola et al 2006) and can lead to groundwater pollution. Peltola et al (2006) observed that high urea load (C mineral oil :N fertilizer ratio 100:19) inhibited nitrification due to the increase of soil ammonium concentration and pH, while the same load of methylene urea was well tolerated because of a slower release of N and lack of pH effect.…”

In our study, the urea load did not increase the soil pH, but at the end of the experiment, the nitrate concentration of leaching water was 100–500 mg L −1 , exceeding the value 50 mg L −1 set as a quality standard for groundwater in the European Union (Directive 2006/118/EC).…”

The use of in situ techniques in soil remediation is still rare in Finland and most other European countries due to the uncertainty of the effectiveness of the techniques especially in cold regions and also due to their potential side effects on the environment. In this study, we compared the biostimulation, chemical oxidation, and natural attenuation treatments in natural conditions and pilot scale during a 16-month experiment. A real fuel spill accident was used as a model for experiment setup and soil contamination. We found that biostimulation significantly decreased the contaminant leachate into the water, including also the non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL). The total NAPL leachate was 19 % lower in the biostimulation treatment that in the untreated soil and 34 % lower in the biostimulation than oxidation treatment. Soil bacterial growth and community changes were first observed due to the increased carbon content via oil amendment and later due to the enhanced nutrient content via biostimulation. Overall, the most effective treatment for fresh contaminated soil was biostimulation, which enhanced the biodegradation of easily available oil in the mobile phase and consequently reduced contaminant leakage through the soil. The chemical oxidation did not enhance soil cleanup and resulted in the mobilization of contaminants. Our results suggest that biostimulation can decrease or even prevent oil migration in recently contaminated areas and can thus be considered as a potentially safe in situ treatment also in groundwater areas.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s11356-016-7606-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…There are many types of stimulating substances that effectively improve the microbial degradation effects of soils, and different stimulating substances have varying effects on the promotion of microbial degradation activity. For example, the effect of methylene urea on the promotion of microbial degradation activity was signi cantly greater than that of urea in a preferred nitrogen source [Peltola et al, 2006]. Moreover, lecithin has better effects on the promotion of microbial degradation activity than certain synthetic surfactants .…”

The clay with high oil content form soil lumps, which is hard for microbes to repair. In this paper, the bioremediation + biostimulation was applied to improve the bioremediation effect of the soil with high oil content, that modified by local cow dung and sandy soil, the ecological toxicity of the soil after restoration was further analyzed. After 53 days of bioremediation, the degradation efficiency with respect to the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) content reached 76.9% ± 2.2%; the soil bacterial content reached 4.9 × 107 CFU/g soil and the results were better than those in the natural attenuation M1group of experimental soils. The relative abundances of petroleum-degrading bacteria added to M5 remained high (Achromobacter 9.44%, Pseudomonas 31.06%, and Acinetobacter 14.11%), and the proportions of some other indigenous bacteria (Alcanivorax and Paenibacillus) also increased. The toxicity of the bioremediated soil was reduced by seed germination and earthworm survival experiments.
