It is well known that soil polluted with different pollutants, including oil, can naturally remediate. Primarily, the process of oil utilization starts with the degradation of saturated alkanes by microorganisms. Alkane monooxygenase is the major enzyme involved in the degradation of alkanes and it is classified into three groups, each catalyzing the degradation of n-alkanes with different chain lengths. In this study, we investigated abundance of alkane monooxygenases genes in the soil contaminated with oil durin...

Chicken meat is easy to produce, and as a result, it is a cheap and massively used source of animal protein in food. However, poultry farms produce more than 200 thousand tons of chicken manure per year, which must be treated. In the large scale farms biological treatment requires huge facilities and investments, therefore other methods are required. Among them, high-temperature drying and pyrolysis. The goal of this work was to compare the products of chicken manure treatment by means of two thermal methods - hig...
