Diesel biodegradation by biosurfactant producing Paenibacillus strains.
Article in Archives of microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study addresses the need for eco-friendly and cost-effective solutions to remediate petroleum-contaminated soils. It explores the untapped potential of biosurfactant producing Paenibacillus strains for bioremediation. Eight Paenibacillus strains procured from NCMR (NCCS), Pune, were evaluated for biosurfactant production as well as hydrocarbon degradation. Paenibacillus chitinolyticus, P. borealis and P. castaneae showed high emulsification activity (EA > 240 EU/ml) and emulsification index (EI > 30%), while P. castaneae, P. chitinolyticus, P. alvei and Paenibacillus sp. 2 (MCC 2683) reduced surface tension below 40 mN/m. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on biosurfactant production and hydrocarbon biodegradation by Paenibacillus chitinolyticus, Paenibacillus castaneae and their consortium. A bacterial consortium of P. chitinolyticus and P. castaneae was optimized for diesel degradation using response surface methodology, achieving 34.63% degradation in 10 days of treatment under optimal conditions (37 °C, 5% diesel, 5% inoculum, pH 6.5). Laboratory-scale soil bioremediation over three months yielded 44.78% diesel degradation, confirmed by gas chromatography. These findings highlight the consortium's potential for environmental bioremediation.
