Simultaneous Application of Biosurfactant and Bioaugmentation with Rhamnolipid-Producing <em>Shewanella</em> for Enhanced Bioremediation of Oil-Polluted Soil

In the present study, a combined treatment strategy involving the addition of rhamnolipid, rhamnolipid-producing bacteria (<i>Shewanella</i> sp. BS4) and a native soil microbial community for the remediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil under pilot-scale conditions was adopted. The i...
