Abstract

The biodegradation of spent oil waste (SOW) using bacteria and fungi has been actively researched over the years. Only recently has the use of microalgae for the treatment of SOW attracted significant attention. This review aims to highlight the biodegradative capabilities of microalgae as well as provide a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to assess current research activities and trends in microalgae-based biodegradation of SOW. The bibliographic data exported from Dimensions database was analyzed using VOSviewer, focusing on various aspects such as document types, publications, subject categories, sources, countries, authors, organizations, and cited articles. The results obtained showed a remarkable increase (80.23%) in the number of article publications from 2005 to 2023 in this field of research. China (887 publications), Environmental Science (3571 publications), Bioresource Technology (249 publications) and Harbin Institute of Technology (72 publications), were the most productive country, subject category, journal, and organization, respectively, publishing articles in this field of research. The review also discussed SOW hydrocarbons ranging from alkanes, aromatic compounds to polychlorinated compounds and the mechanism of degradation of these compounds by microalgae. Overall, the review provided useful insight on microalgae SOW degradation, current research direction and the prospect of using microalgae in environmental remediation and sustainability.

微藻降解废润滑油烃类的研究现状与展望：综述与文献计量学分析

利用细菌和真菌对废油进行生物降解是近年来研究的热点。直到最近，利用微藻处理SOW才引起了极大的关注。本文旨在重点介绍微藻的生物降解能力，并提供全面的文献计量学分析，以评估目前基于微藻的SOW生物降解的研究活动和趋势。使用VOSviewer对从Dimensions数据库导出的书目数据进行分析，重点分析了文献类型、出版物、主题类别、来源、国家、作者、组织和被引文章等各个方面。结果显示，从2005年到2023年，该研究领域的文章发表数量显著增加（80.23%）。中国（887篇）、环境科学（3571篇）、生物资源技术（249篇）和哈尔滨工业大学（72篇）分别是在该研究领域发表文章最多的国家、学科类别、期刊和组织。综述了微藻对土壤中烷烃、芳香族化合物和多氯化合物的降解机理。综述综述了微藻对SOW的降解、当前的研究方向以及微藻在环境修复和可持续发展中的应用前景。

期刊介绍： Research papers must make a significant and original contribution to microbiology and be of interest to a broad readership. The results of any experimental approach that meets these objectives are welcome, particularly biochemical, molecular genetic, physiological, and/or physical investigations into microbial cells and their interactions with their environments, including their eukaryotic hosts. Mini-reviews in areas of special topical interest and papers on medical microbiology, ecology and systematics, including description of novel taxa, are also published. Theoretical papers and those that report on the analysis or ''mining'' of data are acceptable in principle if new information, interpretations, or hypotheses emerge.
