Environmental Science and Pollution Research [Published online 8 August 2019 prior to print]

A series of sustainable solutions are provided for petroleum hydrocarbon degradation without exploiting the environment and with the opportunity to reuse treated media. Most recent in situ and ex situ application methods of petroleum hydrocarbon bioremediation are also reported. A need exists to explore different cost-effective biotechnological resources to degrade petroleum hydrocarbon by screening novel microbial strains or creating genetically-engineered bacteria to survive in a harsh environment.
