Marine microorganisms make a meal of oil
- I. Head, D. M. Jones, W. Röling
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Reviews Microbiology
- 1 March 2006
Hundreds of millions of litres of petroleum enter the environment from both natural and anthropogenic sources every year. The input from natural marine oil seeps alone would be enough to cover all of… Expand
Robust Hydrocarbon Degradation and Dynamics of Bacterial Communities during Nutrient-Enhanced Oil Spill Bioremediation
- W. Röling, M. G. Milner, +4 authors I. Head
- Biology, Medicine
- Applied and Environmental Microbiology
- 1 November 2002
ABSTRACT Degradation of oil on beaches is, in general, limited by the supply of inorganic nutrients. In order to obtain a more systematic understanding of the effects of nutrient addition on oil… Expand
Relationships between Microbial Community Structure and Hydrochemistry in a Landfill Leachate-Polluted Aquifer
- W. Röling, B. M. van Breukelen, M. Braster, B. Lin, H. V. van Verseveld
- Medicine, Biology
- Applied and Environmental Microbiology
- 1 October 2001
ABSTRACT Knowledge about the relationship between microbial community structure and hydrogeochemistry (e.g., pollution, redox and degradation processes) in landfill leachate-polluted aquifers is… Expand
Positive effects of organic farming on below-ground mutualists: large-scale comparison of mycorrhizal fungal communities in agricultural soils.
- E. Verbruggen, W. Röling, Hannes A. Gamper, G. Kowalchuk, H. A. Verhoef, M. G. van der Heijden

- The New phytologist
- 1 June 2010
*The impact of various agricultural practices on soil biodiversity and, in particular, on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), is still poorly understood, although AMF can provide benefit to plants… Expand
Bacterial Community Dynamics and Hydrocarbon Degradation during a Field-Scale Evaluation of Bioremediation on a Mudflat Beach Contaminated with Buried Oil
- W. Röling, M. G. Milner, +4 authors I. Head
- Biology, Medicine
- Applied and Environmental Microbiology
- 1 May 2004
ABSTRACT A field-scale experiment with a complete randomized block design was performed to study the degradation of buried oil on a shoreline over a period of almost 1 year. The following four… Expand
The microbiology of hydrocarbon degradation in subsurface petroleum reservoirs: perspectives and prospects.
The majority of the Earth's petroleum resource is partly biodegraded. This is of considerable practical significance and can limit economic exploitation of petroleum reserves and lead to problems… Expand
Community assembly, species richness and nestedness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in agricultural soils
- E. Verbruggen, M. G. van der Heijden, James T. Weedon, G. Kowalchuk, W. Röling
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 1 May 2012
Understanding how communities assemble is a central goal of ecology. This is particularly relevant for communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), because the community composition of these… Expand
Molecular diversity and distribution of aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading anaerobes across a landfill leachate plume.
- M. Staats, M. Braster, W. Röling
- Biology, Medicine
- Environmental microbiology
- 1 May 2011
Natural attenuation of the mono-aromates benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene occurs under iron-reducing conditions in a leachate-contaminated aquifer near the Banisveld landfill, the… Expand
Phylogenetic and physiological diversity of dissimilatory ferric iron reducers in sediments of the polluted Scheldt estuary, Northwest Europe.
- B. Lin, C. Hyacinthe, S. Bonneville, M. Braster, P. Van Cappellen, W. Röling
- Biology, Medicine
- Environmental microbiology
- 1 August 2007
The potential for dissimilatory ferric iron [Fe(III)] reduction in intertidal sediments of the polluted Scheldt estuary, Northwest Europe, was assessed by combining field-based geochemical… Expand
Biogeochemistry and isotope geochemistry of a landfill leachate plume.
