✦ Synopsis

Nitrogen is one of the most limiting inorganic nutrients in the process of bioremediation of crude oil-polluted environments. Enhanced remediation of crude oil polluted soil was achieved, in situ, by accelerating the biodegradation process through seeding with adapted Azotobacter which not only acted as supplier of ®xed nitrogen to the indigenous crude oil-degrading bacteria, but also performed some co-metabolic activities. This work describes the capability of Azotobacter in providing activities that are useful in the bioremediation of crude oil-polluted soil and biological nitrogen ®xation when in association with indigenous oil-degrading bacteria.

## Abstract Sessile filter‐feeding marine sponges (Porifera) have been reported to possess high efficiency in removing bacteria pollution from natural or aquaculture seawater. However, no investigation has been carried out thus far in a true mariculture farm water system. Therefore this study sough
