Methods are provided for remediating subsurface areas contaminated by toxic organic compounds. An innocuous oil, such as vegetable oil, mineral oil, or other immiscible organic liquid, is introduced into the contaminated area and permitted to move therethrough. The oil concentrates or strips the organic contaminants, such that the concentration of the contaminants is reduced and such contaminants are available to be either pumped out of the subsurface area or metabolized by microorganisms. Microorganisms may be introduced into the contaminated area to effect bioremediation of the contamination. The methods may be adapted to deliver microorganisms, enzymes, nutrients and electron donors to subsurface zones contaminated by nitrate in order to stimulate or enhance denitrification.

Enhancement of in situ microbial remediation of aquifers

A method is provided for isolating a less than 5,000 dalton molecular weight extracellular product from Coriolus versicolor. The extracellular product is useful for biosolubilizing low-rank coals to form water-soluble products.

Method for solubilization of low-rank coal using low molecular weight

A method is provided for isolating an extracellular product from white rot fungi. The extracellular product is useful for biosolubilizing low-rank coals to form water-soluble products.
