Kuwait Study on Mangrove Microbes for Oil Soil Treatment
The Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research announced the completion of a project utilizing microbes found in mangrove forests to remediate oil-contaminated soils along the Kuwaiti coast. The project focused on studying microbial diversity through DNA sequencing techniques and successfully isolated bacterial strains capable of breaking down oil as a food source, achieving up to a 76% reduction in hydrocarbon concentrations. This advances efforts to restore contaminated soils and protect Kuwait's coastal ecosystems. The results include providing an integrated database and developing natural strategies for pollution management, supporting the country's efforts to preserve its coastal environment and achieve sustainability.
