July 22, 2023 Can biosurfactants increase microbiological oil degradation in North Sea seawater? An international research team has been exploring this question and the results have revealed the potential for a ...
May 22, 2025 Engineers developed a membrane that filters the components of crude oil by their molecular size, an advance that could dramatically reduce the amount of energy needed for crude oil ...
Apr. 22, 2025 Biodegradation is an important natural process during oil spill cleanup. A new study revealed that using spill treating agents does not negatively impact naturally occurring ...
Nov. 9, 2022 Scientists have successfully bioengineered an important protein in plants to increase the yield of oil from their fruits and seeds -- a holy grail for the global agri-food industry. Their ...
Oct. 11, 2022 Scientists have engineered duckweed to produce high yields of oil. The team added genes to one of nature's fastest growing aquatic plants to 'push' the synthesis of fatty acids, ...
May 14, 2024 A new study shows that chlorine mixed with petroleum in water can potentially produce inadvertent byproducts harmful to human ...
June 11, 2024 Using tools of modern genetics, plant biochemists have produced a new high-yielding oilseed crop variety -- a yellow-seeded variety of Camelina sativa, a close relative of canola, that accumulates ...
July 22, 2025 Scientists in Australia have uncovered the biological triggers behind oil production in oats, a discovery that could revolutionize how oats are processed and marketed. By using advanced imaging and ...
June 1, 2023 The seafloor is home to around one-third of all the microorganisms on the Earth and is inhabited even at a depth of several kilometers. Only when it becomes too hot does the abundance of ...
Apr. 23, 2024 Researchers use laser treatments to transform ordinary cork into a powerful tool for treating oil spills. They tested variations of a fast-pulsing laser treatment, closely examining the nanoscopic ...
