Abstract:
As a result of various anthropogenic activities,natural saline environment polluted by contaminants and the environment polluted by both contaminants and salts frequently occur.In these saline environments,non-halophilic microorganisms have ineffective bioremediation,even lose the function of bioremediation.Halophilic microorganisms are able to thrive in high salt conditions.It is obvious that the halophilic degraders are more useful for the bioremediation of contaminated saline environments and may be potentially used in a wide of application.The objective of this review is to summarize the research progresses of halophiles in the biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons,aromatic hydrocarbon ramifications,and organophosphorous.
