Abstract:

In social insects, cuticular hydrocarbons function in nest-mate recognition and also provide a waxy barrier against desiccation, but basic evolutionary features, including the heritability of hydrocarbon profiles and how they are shaped by natural selection are largely unknown. We used a new pharaoh ant ( Monomorium pharaonis ) laboratory mapping population to estimate the heritability of individual cuticular hydrocarbons, genetic correlations between hydrocarbons, and fitness consequences of phenotypic variation in the hydrocarbons. Individual hydrocarbons had low to moderate estimated herita

Abstract:

SUMMARYLarge amounts of hydrocarbons accumulate during vitellogenesis in the developing basal oocytes of the German cockroach Blattella germanica (L.), and all ovarian hydrocarbons are deposited into an egg case (ootheca) during oviposition. Hydrocarbons are not synthesized by the ovaries, but are delivered by hemolymph lipoproteins and accumulate within the basal oocytes. A native B. germanica hydrocarbon, [3H]3,11-dimethylnonacosane, injected into adult females of various ages, was taken up by the ovaries in relation to oocyte growth. Ovarian uptake of the hydrocarbon was low in day 0–1 fema

Hydrocarbons are ubiquitous in the ocean, where alkanes such as pentadecane and heptadecane can be found even in waters minimally polluted with crude oil. Populations of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, which are responsible for the turnover of these compounds, are also found throughout marine systems, including in unpolluted waters. These observations suggest the existence of an unknown and widespread source of hydrocarbons in the oceans. Here, we report that strains of the two most abundant marine cyanobacteria,ProchlorococcusandSynechococcus, produce and accumulate hydrocarbons, predominantl

Abstract:

In an era of rising population density and industrialization, the environment confronts growing challenges. Soil, agricultural land, and water bodies are becoming increasingly polluted by petroleum waste and hydrocarbons. While hydrocarbons are naturally present in crude oil, refining processes compound the complexity and toxicity of hydrocarbons. This is particularly evident in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) found in the air and soil, known for their carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic properties. In response, biodegradation emerges as an eco-friendly, cost-effective solution, e

Purpose. To explain the behavior of air-mechanical foam in contact with hydrocarbons, there are generally accepted ideas about the thermodynamic stability of asymmetric aqueous films. These concepts cannot be considered exhaustive, since they do not explain the phenomena of foam stabilization in contact with hydrocarbons. The reason for the stabilization of foam films is the formation of stable emulsions in them caused by mass transfer. The aim of the work is to investigate the phenomenon of mass transfer between the aqueous phase and hydrocarbons on the stability of foam in contact with hydro

Expulsion of hydrocarbons from a shale source rock can be divided in four stages. In the first stage, only a small amount of hydrocarbons can be expelled in water solution and by diffusion. Compaction and hydrocarbon concentration gradient are the major driving forces, whereas their corresponding hydrocarbon expulsion amounts make up 30% and 70% to the total, respectively. In the second stage, in addition to transport by water solution and by diffusion, source rocks expel a large quantity of gas in free phase. In the third stage, the most important feature is that source rocks expel oil as a s

AbstractHydrocarbons (bitumens sensu lato) in sandstones have been recorded in several instances to have partially replaced their host rock, including quartz grains. Many replacive hydrocarbons are uranium-rich: associated non-uraniferous hydrocarbons are not replacive. Uranium is transported as carbonate complexes, which may be decomposed by organic acids to yield UO22+ ions and CO2. The UO22+ will be absorbed onto hydrocarbons before reduction to a mineral phase, generally uraninite; and the CO2 may be aggressive towards the silicate grains of the host sandstone.

Abstract:

Hydrocarbon vapor adsorption experiments (HVAs) are one of the most prevalent methods used to evaluate the proportion of adsorbed state oil, critical in understanding the recoverable resources of shale oil. HVAs have some limitations, which cannot be directly used to evaluate the proportion of adsorbed state oil. The proportion of adsorbed state oil from HVA is always smaller than that in shale oil reservoirs, which is caused by the difference in adsorption characteristics of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. The results of HVA need to be corrected. In this paper, HVA was conducted with kaolini

The microbial degradation of recalcitrant hydrocarbons is an important process that can contribute to the remediation of oil and gas-contaminated environments. Due to the complex structure of subsurface terrestrial environments, it is important to identify the microbial communities that may be contributing to biodegradation processes, along with their abilities to metabolize different hydrocarbons in situ. In this study, a variety of adsorbent materials were assessed for their ability to trap both hydrocarbons and microorganisms in contaminated groundwater. Of the materials tested, a porous po

Abstract:

Oil-based drilling cuttings (OBDCs) contain petroleum hydrocarbons with complex compositions and high concentrations, which have highly carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic properties. In this study, three highly efficient petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria were screened from OBDCs of different shale gas wells in Chongqing, China, and identified as Rhodococcus sp. and Dietzia sp. Because of their ability to degrade hydrocarbons of various chain lengths, a new method was proposed for degrading petroleum hydrocarbons in shale gas OBDCs by combining different bacterial species.

The weathered petroleum hydrocarbons have been identified only in a few cases. In bottom sediments, the concentrations of hydrocarbons depended on their grain size distribution, and terrigenous alkanes were dominated in their compositi
