“…Instead of relying solely on mechanical means, such as containment and physical removal, the introduction of B. subtilis harnesses the power of nature to actively degrade the pollutants. This approach is more sustainable and environmentally friendly, as it reduces the need for harsh chemicals and minimizes disturbance to sensitive ecosystems [80].…”

From its early identification by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg to its current prominence in scientific research, Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) has emerged as a foundational model organism in microbiology. This comprehensive review delves deep into its genetic, physiological, and biochemical intricacies, revealing a sophisticated cellular blueprint. With the incorporation of advanced techniques such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR‐associated protein 9 and integrative computational methodologies, the potential applications of B. subtilis span diverse sectors. These encompass its significant contributions to biotechnology, agriculture, and medical fields and its potential for aiding environmental cleanup efforts. Yet, as we move forward, we must grapple with concerns related to safety, ethics, and the practical implementation of our lab findings in everyday scenarios. As our understanding of B. subtilis deepens, it is evident that its contributions will be central to pioneering sustainable solutions for global challenges in the years to come.

“…Remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated sites is an emerging field of research [45]. It has been reported that the number of papers published annually on this topic is increasing at an average annual growth rate of 9.22% [46].…”

“…It is likely that new studies will be required to address the remaining unresolved challenges in remediating hydrocarbon-contaminated soils, such as heterogeneity [68,69], realistic representation of volatile compound transport [70,71], accurate injection of oxidants or reductants [72,73], and modelling of these processes with new modelling tools [74,75] or with models that are well known but applied in novel ways [76,77]. Overviews of the fate and transport of organic pollutants and their bioremediation with updated knowledge of the mechanisms, the dynamics of the processes, and new modelling tools will also play an important role for future researchers to keep up with the trends [45,[78][79][80].…”

The pollution of groundwater and soil by hydrocarbons is a significant and growing global problem. Efforts to mitigate and minimise pollution risks are often based on modelling. Modelling-based solutions for prediction and control play a critical role in preserving dwindling water resources and facilitating remediation. The objectives of this article are to: (i) to provide a concise overview of the mechanisms that influence the migration of hydrocarbons in groundwater and to improve the understanding of the processes that affect contamination levels, (ii) to compile the most commonly used models to simulate the migration and fate of hydrocarbons in the subsurface; and (iii) to evaluate these solutions in terms of their functionality, limitations, and requirements. The aim of this article is to enable potential users to make an informed decision regarding the modelling approaches (deterministic, stochastic, and hybrid) and to match their expectations with the characteristics of the models. The review of 11 1D screening models, 18 deterministic models, 7 stochastic tools, and machine learning experiments aimed at modelling hydrocarbon migration in the subsurface should provide a solid basis for understanding the capabilities of each method and their potential applications.

“…Biological remediation or bioremediation techniques use fungi, bacteria, or plants to biodegrade or eliminate contaminants from polluted areas, transforming them into less toxic or inert forms (Kalia et al, 2022). Depending on chromosomal genes as well as extracellular enzyme activity, bacteria and other microorganisms can degrade an extensive range of organic substances (Bala et al, 2022).…”

“…The most significant impact of bioremediation can be assessed by measuring the reduction in the concentration of hydrocarbons and other contaminants present in the soil over time. To convert pollutants into less hazardous forms, bioremediation requires minimal chemical and energy input in an environmentally friendly way (Kalia et al, 2022). Comparing bioremediation with chemical remediation, e.g.…”

En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecer al Dr. Carlos Rad por estos años de aprendizaje, apoyo y conocimiento transmitido, gracias por la confianza depositada en mí y la gran oportunidad que me dio desde mis comienzos como técnico de laboratorio. A la Dra.Rocío Barros por seguir los pasos de Carlos y darme el apoyo necesario para continuar en un proyecto tan bonito como GREENER, su apoyo tanto profesional como personal han hecho que este sueño se haga realidad poco a poco.Agradecer a la Comisión Europea la financiación del proyecto GREENER (G.A. 826312) enmarcado en el programa Horizonte 2020, gracias al cual se ha podido desarrollar la presente investigación. También agradecer a la Consejería de Educación de la Junta de Castilla y León, por la ayuda predoctoral concedida a través de la Orden EDU/1508/2020, cofinanciada por el Fondo Social Europeo.También me gustaría dar las gracias a todos los que de una manera u otra han pasado tantísimas horas conmigo en el laboratorio. A Dani por estar siempre, y ayudarnos con una sonrisa, gracias porque no sé qué sería de todos nosotros sin tenerte en cualquier momento al pie del cañón. A Sandra Guti, Paulis y Rajaa, porque fueron las primeras compañeras con las que tuve la suerte de coincidir e hicieron que las horas de trabajo siempre fueran más amenas, gracias por vuestra enorme amistad. A Blanca, Alberto, Elena, las dos Andreas, Aqib y Silvia por tanto apoyo, ayuda y tiempo compartido, gracias. A todo el equipo de laboratorio de ICCRAM con quien he tenido la suerte de aprender muchísimo, dando mis pinitos por la microbiología, sin los cuales hubiese sido imposible sacar nada adelante, en especial gracias a Dalia por estos últimos meses de ayuda personalizada. Al resto de compañeros de ICCRAM, porque son un equipo increíble en todos los sentidos y esto también es un poco suyo. Gracias de manera especial a Bea, por su apoyo incondicional, y por convertirse en una verdadera amiga durante esta etapa.Gracias a todo el Consorcio de GREENER, en especial a la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid por el gran trabajo desarrollado en colaboración. Thanks to the Jožef Stefan Institute for give me the opportunity to learn from them, for the time share together and for start a friendship since that time. Thanks Aleš, Tomaž, Maja, Dmitrii and Farzaneh.Gracias a toda mi familia, soy muy afortunada de haber nacido en una tan buena como la mía. En especial, a mis padres, por una vida dedicada a mi hermano y a mí, por su sacrificio, por sus valores, por estar siempre en todo lo que nos hemos propuesto, por su intensa lucha, y por alegrarse tanto o más que nosotros cada vez que lo hemos conseguido. A mi tato, Iván, porque eres la definición de lo que es un buen hermano mayor porque, aunque llevemos muchos años viviendo lejos, siempre te siento cerca, gracias por hacer mi vida más bonita. No quiero olvidarme de destacar a mi abuelo Seve, una vida más justa le hubiese dejado estudiar, espero que una nieta doctora sea un orgullo para ti, tanto como lo eres tú para mí.A mis amigos, esa familia que ele...
