    • Assessment of the ecological impact of metal and salts mining effluents on freshwater bodies 

      Vendrell Puigmitjà, Lidia (2021-07-30)
      Les activitats mineres han estat crucials per al desenvolupament econòmic i social d’Europa al llarg dels segles. No obstant, avui en dia a Europa hi ha més mines abandonades que operatives que causen ...

    • Diesel biodegradation capacities and biosurfactant production in saline-alkaline conditions by Delftia sp NL1 isolated from an Algerian oilfield 

      Lenchi, Nesrine; Kebbouche-Gana, Salima; Servais, Pierre; Gana, Mohamed Lamine; Llirós Dupré, Marc (2020)
      In this study, a diesel oil-degrading bacterium was isolated from an oilfield water injection (water-bearing formations, 1,205 m depth) in Algeria. The bacterial strain, designated NL1, was cultivated ...
