Current Knowledge and Future Challenges on Bacterial Degradation of the Highly Complex Petroleum Products Asphaltenes and Resins
Petroleum products consist mainly of aliphatics, aromatics, asphaltenes and resins. After oil exploitation, the concentrations of asphaltenes and resins are high in oil reservoirs; however, they are also the petroleum pollutants most recalcitrant to degradation, leading to high oil viscosity. A…

Alcohol Dehydrogenases with anti‐Prelog Stereopreference in Synthesis of Enantiopure Alcohols
Abstract Biocatalytic production of both enantiomers of optically active alcohols with high enantiopurities is of great interest in industry. Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) represent an important class of enzymes that could be used as catalysts to produce optically active alcohols from their…

Oxidation of Cyclohexane to Cyclohexanol/Cyclohexanone Using Sol‐Gel‐Encapsulated Unspecific Peroxygenase from Agrocybe aegerita
Abstract Unspecific peroxygenase from Agrocybe aegerite (AaeUPO) is a remarkable catalyst for the oxyfunctionalization of non‐activated C−H bonds under mild conditions. It exhibits comparable activity to P450 monooxygenase but offers the advantage of using H2O2 instead of a complex electron…

Bacterial Degradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Saudi Arabia
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is the leading oil-exploring and -exploiting country in the world. As a result, contamination of the environment by petroleum products (mainly hydrocarbons) is common, necessitating strategies for their removal from the environment. Much work has been conducted on…

Enhanced biodegradation of phenanthrene and anthracene using a microalgal-bacterial consortium
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are chemicals that are released into the environment during activities of the petroleum industry. The bioaccumulation, carcinogenic and mutagenic potential of PAHs necessitates the bioremediation of these contaminants. However, bioremediation of PAHs has a…

Degradation of benzo[a]pyrene by halophilic bacterial strain Staphylococcus haemoliticus strain 10SBZ1A
The exploitation of petroleum oil generates a considerable amount of “produced water or petroleum waste effluent (PWE)” that is contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). PWE is characterised by its high salinity, which can be as high as 30% NaCl…

Degradation of the highly complex polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon coronene by the halophilic bacterial strain Halomonas caseinilytica, 10SCRN4D
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are significant pollutants found in petroleum products. There is ample literature on the biodegradation of PAHs containing less than five rings, but little has been done on those with more than five rings. Coronene (CRN), a seven-ring-containing PAH, has only…
