• Description:
  Bioremediation is an oil spill remediation technique, which uses microbes to degrade oil, that is relatively non-invasive when compared to other types of remediation (e.g., in situ burning, chemical dispersants). This study investigates the use of two bioremediation products, a commercially available bioremediation agent, Micro-Blaze® Emergency Liquid Spill Control (MB), and a nanomaterial, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-coated iron oxide (NP), developed by Jamie Lead at the University of South Carolina, to determine their efficacy in enhancing oil degrading microbes in a simulated estuarine mesocosm.
