Degradation of anthracene and phenanthrene by strain Streptomyces sp. M-1 and its application in the treatment of PAHs-contaminated water.

J Environ Manage

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Heavy Oil Processing and Centre for Bioengineering and Biotechnology, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, China University of Petroleum (East China), Qingdao, 266580, China. Electronic address:

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent organic pollutants with mutagenicity, carcinogenicity and teratogenicity, widely distributed in the environment. Effective biodegradation of PAHs is highly required, especially in wastewater. An efficient PAHs degrading strain Streptomyces sp.

Soil oil pollution is a major environmental issue, especially in oil-producing nations, as it threatens the health of plants, animals, and humans. While bioremediation has been extensively utilized as a cost-effective method for restoring oil-contaminated soil, its environmental impact has garnered relatively little attention. Researchers often concentrate on reducing pollutant concentrations below permissible limits to restore soil quality.

Marine pollution due to oil spills presents major risks to coastal areas and aquatic life, leading to serious environmental health concerns. Oil Spill detection using SAR data has transitioned from traditional segmentation to a variety of machine learning & deep learning models like UNET proving its efficiency for the task. This research paper proposes a GSCAT-UNET model for efficient oil spill detection and discrimination from lookalikes.
