The technology describes a bioremediation synergistic composition for hydrocarbon pollutant degradation, namely for oil spills and maritime fuels.
The formulation is composed of different autochthonous microorganisms - isolated from the Atlantic Iberian Peninsula Coast, supported by a cocktail of nutrients to stimulate microbial activity.
Hydrocarbon pollution from anthropogenic activities threatens our marine ecosystems, whether by acute events of contamination, such as oil spills, or chronic contamination.
Bioremediation technologies are considered promising ecological alternatives to the current physical-chemical techniques used to tackle hydrocarbon pollution.
The present disclosure relates to an innovative, effective and environmentally friendly synergistic bioremediation composition for hydrocarbon pollutants degradation, namely for oil spills and maritime fuels.
The formulation is composed of different autochthonous microorganisms - isolated from the Atlantic Iberian Peninsula Coast, supported by a cocktail of nutrients to stimulate microbial activity.
