“…Manipulating parameters such as nutrients, pH, moisture and oxygen has been demonstrated to reduce the half-life of hydrocarbon removal from contaminated soils [11][12][13]. It has been severally applied both in the Niger Delta and other parts of the world [12,14,15].…”

Background: The frequency of crude oil pollution has been on the increase following increased exploration, exploitation and production of energy from fossil fuel. Bioremediation has been shown to be eco-friendly and cost-effective method of oil spill remediation. In the Niger Delta, Landfarming has been the most used technique. The aim of this research was to employ metagenomic techniques to understand microbial dynamics during field-scale remediation in the Niger Delta in order to improve and reduce the time of remediation. Results: The surface (0.0 – 0.5m) sample had an extractable TPH value of 6231 mg/kg. The subsurface samples from 1m, 1.5m and 2.0m depths had extractable TPH concentration of 4836 mg/kg, 9112 mg/kg and 7273 mk/kg respectively. Proteobacteria dominated the bacterial community of the oil-polluted soil and comprised mainly of the classes Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria. Alpha diversity analysis revealed the presence of crude oil in the soil reduced microbial diversity. Principal coordinate analysis showed the microbial structure continually changed following changes in the chemical composition of the soil. Mycobacterium, Burkholderia, Methylobacterium and Bacillus were among the core OTUs detected during the period of remediation. Significant variation in pathway abundance particularly pathways for propanoate degradation, benzoate degradation, naphthalene degradation, fatty acid metabolism, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon degradation and degradation of xenobiotics were observed when the unpolluted soil was compared to the samples obtained during remediation. Conclusions: The findings from this study will greatly advance an already preferred landfarming oil spill recovery technique in the Niger Delta.

“…During landfarming, hydrocarbons are lost through biodegradation and volatilization and the process involves regular tilling, dilution of the hydrocarbon pollutant using less contaminated soil and the addition of fertilizers, enzymes and biosurfactants [1]. Manipulating parameters such as nutrients, pH, moisture and oxygen has been demonstrated to reduce the half-life of hydrocarbon removal from contaminated soils [11][12][13]. It has been severally applied both in the Niger Delta and other parts of the world [12,14,15].…”

Proteobacteria dominated the soil microbial profile in all the samples studied as it made up at least 50% of each sample and mostly comprised of the class Alphaproteobacteria with variation only on day 18 and 36 which was mostly dominated by the class Gammaproteobacteria and Betaproteobacteria. Alpha diversity analysis revealed the presence of crude oil in the soil reduced microbial diversity. Principal coordinate analysis showed the microbial structure continually changed following changes in the chemical composition of the soil. Mycobacterium, Burkholderia, Rhodoplanes, Methylobacterium and Bacillus were the core OTUs detected during the period of remediation. Significant variation in pathway abundance particularly pathways for propanoate degradation, benzoate degradation, naphthalene degradation, fatty acid metabolism, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon degradation and degradation of xenobiotics were observed when the unpolluted soil was compared to the samples obtained during remediation.

“…Therefore, for the 33 remediation of hydrocarbons alternative sources of nutrients with a better cost/benefit ratio have been 34 tested. Among these sources, we can mention urea (Simpanen et al, 2016); various biowastes like soy 35 cake (Dadrasnia and Agamuthu, 2014), poultry droppings (Ezenne et al, 2014), oil palm empty fruit 36 bunch, sugarcane bagasse (Hamzah et al, 2014), fish meal (Dias et al, 2015); NPK inorganic fertilizers 37 (Silva-Castro et al, 2015) and other commercial bioremediation agents (Dias et al, 2012). For each 38 particular case, the selection of the best source of nutrients seems to depend on the characteristics of the 1 soil under treatment, because the microbiota thriving in each soil is different and can exhibit dissimilar 2 metabolic requirements.…”

1Logistics and scientific activities carried out in Antarctic stations entail the risk of contamination by fuels. 2 Among remediation strategies, biostimulation of chronically contaminated Antarctic soils significantly 3 improves the efficiency of hydrocarbons (HCs) removal. The aim of this study was to evaluate the 4 performance of different nutrient formulations as biostimulation agents, in order to improve the 5 elimination of diesel fuel from Antarctic soils, in both oxic and anoxic conditions. A field test was 6 performed in microcosms (15 kg of soil each) as experimental systems. Each microcosm was prepared by 7 triplicate, sampled every 10 days over a 50-days period and sampled again one year later. Changes in 8 bacterial communities, and qualitative and quantitative HCs analysis were determined. Our results 9 showed that, during the early stages of the process, a multi-component commercial product like OSEII ® 10 (containing nutrients, enzymes and surfactants) determines a rapid elimination of HCs with changes in the 11 structure of the bacterial soil community, whereas a more cost-effective slow-release fertilizer like 12 Nitrofoska ® would be efficient in a long-term bioremediation process. 13 14
