Reduction of lag in crude oil degradation by Aspergillus when it is in synergy with Bacillus in biofilm mode.
Article in Bioprocess and biosystems engineering, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A major hindrance to the effective use of fungi in bioremediation is their inherent slow growth. Despite this, Aspergillus spp. may be used effectively. Our experiments demonstrate that bacteria, although inefficient in hydrocarbon degradation, may be effectively used in a consortium to overcome the lag in fungal utilization of petroleum hydrocarbons. Crude petroleum oil (160 mg; at 8 g/L) in minimal medium was inoculated with a previously isolated biofilm-forming consortium (Aspergillus sp. MM1 and Bacillus sp. MM1) as well as monocultures of each organism and incubated at 30 ℃ under static conditions. Residual oil was analyzed by GC-MS. Crude oil utilization of Aspergillus-Bacillus biofilm was 24 ± 1.4% in 3 days, increased to 66 ± 7% by day 5 and reached 99 ± 0.2% in 7 days. Aspergillus sp. MM1 monoculture degraded only 14 ± 6% in 5 days. However, at the end of 7 days, it was able to utilize 98 ± 2%. Bacillus sp. MM1 monoculture utilized 20 ± 4% in 7 days. This study indicates that there is a reduction of the fungal lag in bioremediation when it is in association with the bacterium. Although in monoculture, Bacillus sp. MM1 is inefficient in crude oil degradation, it synergistically enhances the initial rate of crude petroleum oil degradation of the fungus in the consortium. The rapid initial removal of as much crude oil as possible from contaminated sites is vital to minimize detrimental impacts on biodiversity.
