the petroleum potential of the seyahou (ordovician) and sarchahan (lower silurian) formations in northern bandar abbas has not been investigated sufficiently. these sediments crop out as thinly laminated shales and are about 100 meters thick. a number of thirty-five selected samples were subjected to rock-eval pyrolysis followed by transmitted, reflected and uv light microscopy together with cl...

The potential for biotransformation of weathered hydrocarbon residues in soils collected from two commercial oil refinery sites (Soil A and B) was studied in microcosm experiments. Soil A has previously been subjected to on-site bioremediation and it was believed that no further degradation was possible while soil B has not been subjected to any treatment. A number of amendment strategies inclu...

Peat has attracted considerable interest as a potential source of alternative fuel in terms improving hydrocarbons production and satisfying market demand. The next decade is likely to witness raise its exploitation. Nevertheless, the characteristics peat pyrolysis process, via which many experts expect generation hydrocarbons, have not been dealt with depth. In present study we applied thermal...

Alkenylglycine amino acids were assessed as potential candidates for hydrocarbon stapling and shown to be effective in stapling of the BID BH3 peptide.

Hydrocarbon generation in the Zechstein Main Dolomite and Upper Triassic potential source rocks of Polish Basin was investigated by 1-D thermal maturity modelling 90 boreholes across basin. This identified major zones potentially worthy further exploration efforts. The maximum burial depth reached >5 km during Late Cretaceous leading to organic matter. development reveals considerable differ...

Many endophytic bacteria exert beneficial effects on their host, but still little is known about the bacteria associated with plants growing in areas heavily polluted by hydrocarbons. The aim of the study was characterization of culturable hydrocarbon-degrading endophytic bacteria associated with Lotus corniculatus L. and Oenothera biennis L. collected in long-term petroleum hydrocarbon-pollute...
