Polymeric Nanocomposite Aided Bioaugmentation for Marine Oil Spills – A Review
Abstract: Bioaugmentation is a promising, cost-effective bioremediation technique that enhances the degradation of marine pollutants by introducing hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms. This review explores recent advancements in the use of bioaugmentation for petroleum biodegradation in marine environments, emphasizing the integration of microbial systems with polymeric and composite materials. Innovative methods, such as the immobilization of microbial cells within biodegradable polymeric matrices (e.g., alginate, chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol), have significantly improved microbial viability, metabolic efficiency, …

Microemulsion: Novel Carrier for Drug Delivery
Abstract: Since the discovery of much novel formulation belongs to the lipid based drug delivery system, the handicapped property of drug molecule reverted to the fittest, doable and easily delivered with strategies of improving bioavailability and depleting dose of the same. Microemulsion system is clear, stable, isotropic mixture of oil, water and Smix (Surfactant and co-surfactant mixture), frequently in combination with a co-solvents. To date microemulsions have been shown to be …
